Guns Germs and Steel is a Pulitzer prize-winning book written by Jared Diamond. You'll most likely study this in grade ten social studies or somewhere in university. It was also turned into a National Geographic special which has a wicked intro, good luck finishing it though.

Coined from the “Germ-X” claim: “Effective at eliminating 99.99% of many common harmful germs and bacteria in as little is 15 seconds.”

When trying to call attention to the flaws of an opponent only to have your own flaws "outed" as a result of personal digging. Similar to the Streisand Effect in the legal community, the Germ Effect calls attention to yourself in an unwanted and unanticipated fashion. The phrase is derived from the great "2011 Yahoo Fantasy Football thread between 'Coach Germ' and 'Teddy Ruxpin.'"
Coach Germ tried to give me shit me for my 17th round pick, but upon taking a look at his team, his antics had "The Germ Effect" when it was discovered that he has 3 #4 wide receivers and 3 running backs who are time-shares.
