guru effect

When you have a technical problem you can't fix, but when you try to demonstrate it to an expert, it magically goes away, leaving you looking dumb.

"My PC was bluescreening all day, whenever I moved my mouse, but when I tried to show the IT guy what was happening, it worked fine and it hasn't happened again. Total Guru Effect."

Fendi's effect

Using to much shading or darkening in art where none is needed

If someone darkens a character and makes it look like they're standing in shadow while it's actually day time that's Fendi's effect

Sass Effect

When you sass someone so hard, they sass you back, only to be sassed back again.

There was so much sass getting thrown around, it was pretty much a complete Sass Effect. No one survived.

The BECA effect

When you're super awkward, but still kind of weirdly hot that people wonder the reason why you're still single. The reason is beyond your control and is called the BECA (being eventually cast away) effect.

"Man, I don't know why you can't get a boyfriend. You're hot and have a great booty and stuff, but you're awkward... Must be the BECA effect."

The JLO effect

When a dorky/nerdy white male turns hot after dating a latina.

Just like Ben Affleck, Tom looks hot now that he's dating Maria, it must be the JLO effect.

The Nostalgia Effect

When you play a game for so long that it isn't as appealing as it used to be when you first started, and you yearn for that past claiming "It was better" when really, you want to relive the feeling of discovery.

Gamer 1: Dude, I miss the old TF2. It was sooo much better!
Gamer 2: Nah, you just miss the past. It's The Nostalgia Effect, man.
