Madison effect

The migration of a trend from a small, affluent segment to a larger, mass market audience.

In 1985, the girl's name "Madison" was ranked as the 628th most popular in the U.S. and was chosen primarily by wealthy, well-educated parents. Middle and working class parents picked up on the trend and by 2010 the Social Security Administration ranked "Madison" as the eight most popular name in America and has been among the most popular names for over a decade.

Also known as: Madison concept, Madison idea and Madison theory.
The marketing team is using the Madison effect to launch the new product: they are giving it away to consumers in East Hampton and people will be clamoring for it in Iowa by Christmas.

The Gehe Effect

The Gehe Effect (TGE) is wanting desperately to know absolutly everything about someone you've never met or never talked to, this causes a puppy love-like longing that can turn into aggressive stalking and/or adorably crushing on the one causing the effect. These things can lead to an odd senpai idealism or actual feelings for the effector. Sometimes the effected never actually have any kind of contact what so ever with their effector but prefer to wallow in their unrequited love from afar until the effect passes or the effected looses interest.
Jillian: OMG! Spencer is so crushing on Jill, but he's never talked to her before x3.
Olivia: Lol, Jill is having The Gehe Effect on him.
Jillian: Totes! He wanted me to tell him all about how she likes to be treated, he really wants to make her feel loved! It's so cute!
