When a word becomes too overused as a joke, and it seemingly begins to grow unfunny to the point where ironically, it's funny; specifically overused in the game Quiplash.

When a movie star, confusing reality with one of their films, promises to save the world with a plot device that doesn't work.

Joe Tessitore is a college football announcer for ESPN. Any games that he announces is pretty much guaranteed to go down to the wire likely with a wild finish.
The Tessitore Effect was in full force last night when Joe Tessitore announced the South Carolina-Missouri game last night and there was a big comeback that sent the game into overtime.

When one adopts the persona of having a crush on someone not available to them (usually because they are fictional or along-dead historical figures) for the sake of a joke for so long that one develops a legitimate crush on them.
Named after a member of a history-themed discord server who acted as a chronicler of all the events occurring (this happens to be me lol).

Chronicler: I say Anna Komnene my beloved, but is it sad that I think I legitimately have a bit of a crush on her now?
Sokrates: Same, I think I might have actually got the Chronicler Effect. I 've got an actual crush on Belisarius as well!

When one person is stuck in a process or approval, and another person comes in and gets everything magically resolved.
Similarly, in sales, one person has been talking to a client about a solution, but cant get the deal done. Another person comes in to support the conversation and *poof* sale is made.

I've been struggling to get approvals from my client, so I brought in a peer who applied the subi effect. Problems solved.

The Murzulus Effect
A scientific theory that indicates homo-sapiens acquire the competence and intelligence to telepathically communicate and cause two or more homo-sapiens to simultaneously activate their sensory system to go ahead and proceed with sending sensory signals to the phalanges which then will cause an imbalance in the forces, Newton's first law, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force, the phalanges commence with acceleration, Newton's second law of motion, F = ma. Moreover, collision occurs when the phalanges make contact with an input device, all these actions occur due to a neurological telepathic communication between homo-sapiens that would bring them to the same place/state at the same time, unconsciously.
In simpler words, two or more people unconsciously start texting at the same time.

Person 1: *typing*
Person 2: *typing*
Person 1: wth man we were offline now we are online texting at the same time, is it a coincidence or is it "The Murzulus Effect"?
