Grey Lady Effect

*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*

This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.

To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.

Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.

Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Grey High School

One of the gayest schools in South Africa. Located in the city Port Elizabeth. Home to legendary goat Mr VK and Mr G. These two honestly make the school worth going to. If it wasnt for them, it would be complete chaos. Said to be one of the best rugby schools in South Africa but thats bullshit. Atleast they are the real Grey unlike Gay Bloem with their 30% average for academics.

You see that gay guy over their, he went to Grey High School he was most likely in Mr VK's class.
