Alex Effect 

The only known counter for the Palmer Effect.

Occurs when an afflicted girl sees an Alex naked.
OMG - The Palmer Effect made Jill a lesbian, but she was fixed the next day by Alex. I explained the situation to him, and he agreed to expose her to the Alex Effect!

Alexandria 

"Defender of mankind", or "Protection" from Alexander. Beautiful and powerful. Truly one of a kind in everything she does; center of attention; is always right; will always be there to help others in need; vibrant and healthy with a body that puts other women to shame. Once she is a part of your life, you will NEVER be the same.
Guy 1 "Is that your new girl?"

Guy 2 "Who Alexandria? Yes, she is amazing and I don't know what my life would be like without her!"

Guy 1 "Sweeeet"

Alea is the most wonderful friend that you could have and will stick by your side no matter how distant. She will love you and hate others. If you win the way to her heart. Keep her. She gets upset sometimes but you usually work it out in the end. Love her and make her happy because she is awesome and funny. Some days will be like her since of humor has hit rock bottom because she laughs at the stupidest things like the word potato.
Person one: hey I just started dating Alea.

Person two: keep her close. She is worth every little bit of you love and affection.

alexander the great 

The most extraordinary leader of all time. One of the greatest military strategists and tacticians who ever lived. A commander who never lost a battle. Had he not die at the age of 32, he would have rule the whole world and spread the east and west culture altogether. The Byzantine made him a saint and God include him in the Quran.
"To The Best" - Alexander The Great last words before he died.
