The Schwarzenegger Effect

the phenomenon where seemingly rational and intelligent people are given a choice between a regular, sensible, safe option and a completely absurd and random option...and in a lapse of hilarity...think to themselves "wouldn't it be funny if" and place a joke vote towards the laughable choice, thinking there is no way this will happen...

...unaware that millions of other seemingly rational and intelligent people have also thought of this and thus creating a tragically hilarious scenario where the joke candidate or choice has been chosen and is now in control of their daily lives, unfortunately.

John thought it would be funny to vote "Katy Perry" as the next United States senator from his state just so he could tell his co-workers the next day, unaware that The Schwarzenegger Effect would now place the pop singer in firm control of his state's government and his parents' health insurance coverage.

Lore Master Effect

A lite version of code-switching that takes place within the same language, but changes the tone of one's inner dialogue or speaking or writing style to temporarily correlate with environmental factors such as the voice of narration in a book, watching television shows in a slightly different dialect, or being in a different setting which changes the grade level of word choice such as attending college or joining the Marines. Coined by Vinnford Sansbury in the book Vaults of Lore - Agicalia Volume One: Magic's End

I can't stop cussing ever since I got out of the military because of this fucking Lore Master Effect!
