The strange sensation one may feel when an object, person, or concept they hadn't considered for a very long time suddenly crops up at several moments in the same day, or across a very brief period of time.
It often gives the impression that one is being 'followed around' by the entity in question, and several philosophical debates have been raised as to whether the frequency of the sightings is increased as a result of a universal anomaly, or simply the fact that being re-exposed to the object makes one more susceptible to perceive it in daily life.
Named for the first recorded instance, involving Gwen Stefani.

"Oh my gosh, it's The Gwen Stefani Effect. I hadn't thought about Silverchair for so many years, but I just heard them on the radio and my friends mentioned them at school today! Am I being followed?"

Get the Stephanie Miller mug.Lady Gaga's real name and in my honest opinion a more talented individual who sang from her heart and not the Brillo Pads she ate to get her new voice.And the way she dressed before she sold her soul for fame and fortune.
Person 1:ZOMG Lady Gaga is the best right?!
Person 2:Well I don't really like her,but Stefani Germanotta was incredible.

Get the Stefani Germanotta mug.An ass-kicking bounty hunter from the Stephanie Plum series, written by Janet Evanovitch. She is a spunky combination of Nancy Drew and Dirty Harry. She is described as having a fast metabolism, brown curly hair, and blue eyes. Evanovich originally envisioned Sandra Bullock as Stephanie in the movie adaptation of One for the Money, but is now leaning towards Anne Hathaway. Many women are for the role, but Reese Witherspoon is probably going to play her, since she's the producer of the movie, or something.
