scoomp da loomp effect

The act of making up the name of an effect in order to prove a point that is otherwise completely non-sensical and inaccurate.

John: If one of those oxygen tanks explodes, all the others beside it will explode as well.

Valerie: That makes no sense at all.

John: Yes it does, its the scoomp da loomp effect.

A for effort

Not the worst attempt. Perhaps if you invested a little more time and brain work, you would get something that you can actually be proud of instead of this pile of rubbish.

Boy : Hey sweetie, I got you something
Girl : Oh Wow! What did you get me?
Boy : A Brand New Star Wars T-shirt
Girl : *sigh* Oh well. A for Effort.

Bathtub Sink Effect

Those times when you use your bathtub to heat your sink. A lot of times when one washes their hands at the sink and turns the water on hot, nothing but cold water comes out of the faucet. By letting the water in the bathtub run for about 10-15 seconds, the water heats up. Then you turn off the water in the bathtub, run your water on hot at the sink, and in a couple of seconds, you have hot water running at the sink.

Normally when the Bathtub Sink Effect is not done, you can run the sink water for minutes and get nothing but cold water even though you have it on hot.

manatee effect

When someone possess negative traits to such an extreme that the person appears to exhibit the opposite positive trait.

Similar to how a manatee is so ugly that it is perhaps the most beautiful creature on Earth.

Guy 1: Dude, she's pretty cute.

Guy 2: What are you talking about, she looks like a man, and not a good lookin' one at that.

Guy 1: Oh... I guess you're right, the manatee effect had me going there for a second.

The Scooby Doo Effect

When someone undeservingly stumbles upon success, through sheer luck and usually minimal skill of their own, similar to that of the cartoon character Scooby Doo who would often catch the villain by literally stumbling upon them, usually after he had fallen over or been involved in some sort of zany accident.

Person 1: Hey, how'd you go in that exam?
Person 2: Dude I got like 95%
Person 1: How? I got like 65% and you told me you didn't even study
Person 2: It's the Scooby Doo Effect man.
