The Cheerleader Effect

When a group of girls are seemingly hot. But when a closer look is made, each individual is terribly ugly.
Man: Dude I'm going to go pick up one of those chicks.
Dude: No don't it's the cheerleader effect, they are all sick.

Buckingham Effect

The Buckingham Effect in its simplest form is a trance like state that a person experiences while listening to Lindsey Buckingham. Its similar in a way to hypnosis. The typical symptoms are uncontrolled states of dancing (strutting) and singing along to many of the catchy tracks of Lindseys discography.

The most notible tracks to induce this state of consciousness are Trouble, Don't Look Down and I Want You.

Unfortunately there are no cures for the Buckingham Effect, and in 95% of cases a person who is subjected to Lindseys work become addicted. This addiction tends to have a knock on effect and creates conflict in ones personal life and work.
Laura: Hey Kelly, the other day Paul played me this song called 'Countdown' by Lindsey Buckingham it was amazing! I learnt the words already and i've only heard the song once.

Kelly: My advice is go to see a doctor. Those are symptoms of The buckingham Effect! Ennit!

Ancients effect

The “Ancients Effect” is a virtual mental illness for people who play this game called “Growtopia” Usually people with the “Ancients effect” have low self esteem, failing school, and fake. Usually after joining Ancients guild members start to act strangely and slowly betray those who care about them just for some Ancients super stars (Mods.) Also these players are way to serious and can’t take jokes.
John betrayed me, broke my trust and betrayed me for fake ancients members! He’s so got the “ancients effect.”

I made a joke vouching my friend in ancients but my GE yelled at me! Shes so got the “ancients effect.”

shotgun effect

The act of turning in a whole bunch of applications to different areas of employment in hope that at least one of them employs you.

The "shotgun effect" could mean anything involving multiple usage of something until something happens. It is similar to how a shotgun shoots : it fires a spread of buckshot, so if you're shooting a buckshot round from a distance, you'd better hope at least ONE of the pellets hit the target.
"The shotgun effect is my attempt to get a fucking job. BUT, it never happens. -_-' "

ghomeshi effect

The term the 'Ghomeshi effect' was coined two years ago and has been used by several newspapers (The Vancouver Sun, The National Post, The Toronto Star, Now Toronto, The Walrus, Maclean's Magazine, and Salon) to describe the phenomenon that former CBC radio broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi's trial has inspired: namely that people are now speaking regularly and openly about sexual violence, particularly how it is handled in the justice system.

'The Ghomeshi Effect' is a verbatim dance-theatre piece that tackles sexual violence in Canada through an edited series of documented interviews, and uses dance to inform and interrogate the language used in the discussion of sexual violence. The world premiere of this play will take place in January 2017 in Ottawa, Canada.
The hashtags #BeenRapedNeverReported and #IbelieveLucy emerged as countless people shared powerful stories of their own unreported sexual assaults. The outpouring of support was dubbed “the Ghomeshi effect.” – The Vancouver Sun
