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!

xerox effect

when the name of a brand has been so widely accepted for referring to an item that many people only use the brand name as the name of the item.

Asking for a kleenex rather than a tissue is a good example of the xerox effect.

skes effect

skes is a discord server with 2.1k members yet when they do @everyone or @here, only 6-17 people come, this is known as the skes effect and is being spread on to other servers as we speak, to prevent this effect there are 3 simple steps, 1) be any other server other than skes 2) have a server named something other than skes 3) don't be skes

"bro have you visited skes recently"
"yeah it's like a waste land"
"thats the skes effect i guess."

The Wolfy Effect

1. When one sees a minor change in a piece of media that they enjoy and they rant and act like a bitch about it rather than growing the fuck up.

2. When you present a different preference in media and they scream at you because you don't like their preferred version.

I said I liked Ruby's Atlas design and she screamed at me for like an hour! She must've been hit with The Wolfy Effect!

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.
