Droppler Effect 

The weary jaded feeling of "letdown" that one usually experiences after a much-anticipated event (such as a talent-concert or other much-hyped cultural bash, dinner-date, "important" business meeting, etc.) which turns out to be significantly less satisfying or worthwhile than had been expected or hoped for. So, like the "Doppler Effect" that is heard as a noisy vehicle zooms by (the sound of the jalopy's engine is higher as it bears down on your position and then drops drastically in pitch as it rushes headlong into the distance), one's mood and emotions suffer a similar "roller-coaster" or "sugar-crash" journey... you are all keyed up and excited beforehand with your heartbeat going a-mile-a-minute as you eagerly anticipate the looked-forward-to event, and then afterwards you feel disappointed and exhausted, with your whole being slowed into a state of draggy disillusionment.

The Doppler Effect 

NOT the scientific term. But an amazing band with members from the New Hartford/Syracuse, NY areas. Consists of the band members, Hussain, Mike, Tom, Ricky, Johnny and Eric. Their music could be classified as Punk/Rock. These fun guys will keep you entertained and at the same time give you a rockin' show. And if your wondering, "Well golly, do these fellers have a myspizzle?" the answer is Yessir! They do! Also, you will notice certain trends with them, such as: vests, dyed hair, IHS, visible boxers shorts, v-necks, and STICKSLAMS(referring to the popular webcam broadcasting site)! :D
Some Random Chicka - "Dude, your about as amazing as The Doppler Effect!"
Random Dude - "Oh My Gosh! That's such a compliment!"

Magical Panty-Dropper Effect 

1) What occurs when a dude sings a song, or sings a song and plays the guitar to a female so well, that the female becomes instantly wet and finds it nearly impossible NOT to drop her panties.

2) The reason why girls always go for the lead singer/guitarist and not the drummer.

Famous individuals that have this magical skill include Trey Songz, Bruno Mars & John Mayer
Maria instantly gave it up to Joe after he sang her that song. His voice has that magical panty-dropper effect.

Tim Duncan: "Hey where ya goin?"
John Mayer: "I got a show tonight."
Tim: "Aw damn, you about to get mad laid tonight!"
John: "Hell yea, my songs got that magical panty-dropper effect!"

Doppler-effect horn-blowing 

Da annoying dual-pitch "Beeeeeee-yuhhhhhhhh!" dat you hear when some dumba** motorist roars past you while engaging in an "extended honk". Okay, okay --- so maybe he's "just trying to be friendly" by saying hello to a familiar face by the roadside (you), but as gas-station attendant Dale says in the Red Green Show episode, "Hurricane Doug", it's far more cheerful/polite and less startling/grating on the eardrums to just briefly "tap the hooter" a couple times as you go by.
And incident of Doppler-effect horn-blowing can be even more annoying and emotionally draining (i.e., it can become a Droppler effect sometimes) if you either (1) do not recognize whoever it was who honked at you, and so you are left to wonder "who that might have been" and/or if he possibly mistook you for someone else while your back was turned, or (2) don't have a clue as to the driver's reason for honking at you, and so you are left to wonder what you might have been doing that caused him to either notice or be upset with you. Plus of course if there are one or more other people in your immediate vicinity at the time, you may even be unsure if said extended honk was actually "untended for you", or if the driver was noisily "addressing" someone else nearby --- or all of you in general --- instead of you personally.

The Doppler effect 

It's when a fast vehicule passes by and goes like 'nyoooooooooom'
Random guy at Nascar race - "Yo dude these cars go really fast!"
Car - "Nyyyyooooooooooomm..."
Random guy - "You hear that? That's the Doppler effect."
