Named after the Ally McBeal series actress, this is a condition in which men literally stop in their tracks when looking at a woman that is completely physically stunning and flawless. It is sometimes marked by the loss of peripheral consciousness for hours or days as the male stares transfixed, feeling no pain nor hunger nor any sense of responsibility to attend to necessary matters. In war, the use of Ms Krakowski directly, via her surrogates, or her images to immobilize the enemy is expressly forbidden under any and all of the Geneva Convention agreements.
"Whoa Jake...You zoned out dude. One minute you were fine and the next you were comatose. Was it that blonde in the blue miniskirt?"
(Still in something of a stupor) "Yeah. I think so."
"Jane Krakowski Effect huh?"
(Beside himself now) "Is she here? The real one? Where?" (Jake fades out again lost in a mental image)
"Oh the blessing and curse of having the angel Jane Krakowski and her ilk living amongst us." (Jake's friend laments)

An employee who experiences a loss of consciousness that can go on for hours or days. In this state, he or she will have no memory at all of the work he or she performed. Also known as work autopilot and work robot, these are usually people who feel that they have no future in their own company. It is believed that the "lost" time is spent in internal calculation so as not to allow the brain cells to atrophy.
"Jones, you cretin. What were you thinking? Were you paying any attention at all to your work?"
(In a fog) "Sorry boss. I must have become a work zombie. "

The older woman in some pornographic movies who orchestrates lesbian sex between two or more much younger women. Generally one or more of these younger women insist that they are straight. It is the master lesbianator's job to at first scold, then cajole, then direct the younger women in their lovemaking techniques. These women learn very quickly under her more mature tutelage. It is customary for the master lesbianator to sensitively praise the often formerly straight women after completion.
"Hey what's this old broad doing in this lesbian scene?"
"She's the master lesbianator. The other girls wouldn't know what to do without her."
"You're kidding me right?"
"I wish. The director is trying to be artsy."

"Spousal catfight arousal?"
"Damn straight. I need a closer view."

The very welcome sense of excitement when one is turned on by one's partner. It often occurs suddenly and unpredictably after long periods of the couple's intimate complacency. It can sometimes happen when one of the partners mistakes his or her spouse for another person.
Felicia: "What's that look for?"
Horatio: "Your shoulders look really nice today."
Felicia (purring now): mm mm spousal arousal, huh?
Horatio (panting now); Uh huh.
