Piers Anthony Disease
A literature phenomenon in which the first book of a series does so well, and may even be considered a classic, that subsequent books in the series become staggeringly formulaic, to the point where the only difference between it and the last one are maybe location, names of characters, and point in time the story takes place in.
Named for Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth series, one of the most notable instances of this phenomenon.

"I really liked Frank Herbert's "Dune". It was honestly a well written story, its just that his other books got quite... similar afterwards. Same general plot, message, almost everything but the names."
"Ah, so he contracted Piers Anthony Disease?"
"I'm afraid so..."

Casevoid
That little wooden area in a liquor case (usually in a grocery store like Safeway) between the transparent glass panels that it is nigh impossible to see or notice the bottles behind, causing the clerk to search the area around it like a madman while the bottle the customer wants is just out of immediate sight. Thankfully, most of the more commonly sought-after bottles are not there. Unless they want Bailey's Irish cream in half-gallons. That shit is always in that space.
Customer: Can I get a half-gallon of Bailey's?
Clerk: Of course, let me grab it.
(Clerk searches the case for about a minute)
Clerk (under breath): Gods dammit, its in the casevoid.

The Talisman Effect
The name for the phenomenon in which if you were to bring a particular item with you somewhere, you won't end up needing it, but should you not bring it, you will need it.
"If I bring my umbrella, it probably won't rain. If I don't, it most certainly will. I guess its just the Talisman Effect at work."
