The perception that the performance of a vehicle has improved as the result of maintenance work at a garage that likely made no impact on the vehicle's actual functioning.
Most commonly experienced by people who have just paid for a questionable procedure a mechanic insisted was important and really want to believe that: a) the procedure was actually done; and b) it significantly helped the vehicle's performance.

Jon: Dude, that $1000 for a changing out my cabin filter and flushing my transmission was SO worth it! My Hyundai has never been this powerful...I could totally take a BMW off the line right now!!
Cameron: Really? Come on man, this is a classic case of the Garagebo effect! They probably waved a wrench over your crappy car and then gave it back to you and now you think you are Vin Diesel in Fast Five!

Get the hannah effect mug.The phrase used for when a girl in a relationship is influenced by her slutty friends to become a hoe. Derived from the belief that girls with names ending in “uhh” or “eee” will break your heart.

Get the alexia effect mug.once 2 people of opposite gender converge on a single point, a new person (usually female, but sometimes male) will join the room, and thus the balance tipped. With this new change in gender, more of the dominant gender flock, trying to get the attention of the lone male (or female)
Once there's a 3 - 5 to 1 ratio, another male will join, and thus the ho effect has hit full circle.

Stage 1:Guy 1 & Girl 1 hang out at the mall.
Stage 2:Girl 2 joins them.

Get the The TikTok effect mug.A science experiment in which an airbag is deployed right onto someone's exposed rear to record reaction (whether it be pain or pleasure) and effects of the airbag deploying.
