The Nugget Effect

Surpassing a level of excruciating hunger wherein one becomes less hungry than originally anticipated.

The 300 chicken nugget challenge was on my mind all day. I refused to eat. Half an hour before go time, he decided to have a girl over and have some fun. I was livid. When we finally got to McDonalds an hour later I barely made it past 20 effectively making me the first to experience "The Nugget Effect".

The Dotson Effect

Defined when rules that abundantly clear for absolutely everyone else, become subject to circumvention because the documentation is not designed for every "what if" condition.

The D.C.F.L is under the Dotson Effect once again due to the Ballers GM having an issue with the add/drop process.

The “Lacey Effect”

When an instructor teaching a group class resonates an affable, inclusive, and beautifully eccentric atmosphere that touches and uplifts every person in the room, even those not in the class.

“Hey man, that group class was awesome, I noticed the “Lacey Effect” occurred!”

“Thanks, it felt good too, the students seemed to have a lot of fun!”
