Treadmill effect

When a blazed person walks outdoors and it appears that buildings are coming towards him/her rather than him/her walking towards the buildings. This gives the illusion that the earth is a huge treadmill and the person is not moving from where he/her is walking.

Person A - God damn! it seems like the movie theaters is coming towards me even tho I'm walking towards it.

Person B - It's the treadmill effect.

facebook effect

The situation where an individual displays pictures of themselves online that do not reflect their actual appearance.

This often occurs when the individual manages what pictures others can see.

"Wow, that girl is hot!" (looking at pictures online)

"WTF, you're hideous?! (meeting face-to-face)

Clearly, this is an example of the facebook effect.

James Dean Effect

When people want to be friends with you (or date you) more, because you're a loner/rebel/mysterious personality type. Almost all are attractive, yet rough around the edges & many times emotionally unavailable.

(Edward from Twilight shouldn't count -he sparkles in the sunlight.)

James Dean Effect :

Stupid person: "Wow, he/she is so mysterious & misunderstood. I want him/her to love/like me. I'm sure I can change them, maybe if I change myself they'll like me."

Logical person in response to emotional persons statement : "It's just the James Dean Effect, you want them more because you probably can't have them in your life. Ever."

facebo effect

Charles: "OMG, you are clearly suffering from the facebo effect".

Butterball Effect

A scientific theory which explains that regularly eating butter, even a small pat, will eventually turn you into a fat butterball.

At the 10 year High School Reunion.....

Gerard: Hey check out Sylvia, she's a total hefer! She used to be hot, what happened?

Chuck: Dude, It's called the Butterball Effect, all those empty fat calories have wreaked their damnable havoc on her once fine physique.

Gerard: Say what now?
