Subi Effect

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.

Chronicler Effect

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!

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!

Dong Effect

The phenomena where images of a penis in a television show or movie cause mental anguish to a viewer.

The golden dong scene in episode 9 of "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" caused James to seek aggressive psycho-therapy. This is the dong effect.

The showing of Dr. Manhattan's blue dong in The Watchmen movie resulted in manic-depression in many viewers. This is the dong effect.

The Bagel Effect

The effect caused when Miles Morales in "Spiderman - Into the spiderverse" threw a bagel at a man which caused an extremely strong villian to be known as "The spot" who could possibly cause the end of the spiderverse

"You all know the bagel effect? I guess you could say that bagel really hit the spot."

LaCoste Effect

(2004) Synonym with white flight. Literally, an unorganized movement of white 16-22 year olds away from the old Abercrombie staple to once again, recapture a sense of patrician exclusivity characteristic of many American whites.

The LaCoste Effect increases as the frequency of non-white Abercombie- wearers increase.

The LeBron Effect

Where everything in the NBA revolves around "The King". He can be compared to a Black Hole, where nothing is able to escape the gravitational influence of LeBron James. His influence can be seen not only in free agency (where every team, organization, fan base, and player is waiting on his decision), but in the marketability, endorsements, TV shows (Entourage), and even the NBA Championship. People care more about where LeBron is, what he is doing, and where he plans to go more than who wins the NBA championship. Hence, the LeBron effect. He is bigger than the game.

Mike: "Dude, who do you think will win the NBA Championship in Game 7, Lakers or Celtics?"
Jason: "Who cares, I'm waiting to see LeBron's press conference in 20 minutes..."
Mike: "Ah, the LeBron effect..."
