When you come up with something that you think is cool and funny and you think you're the first person to think of it, but it turns out many people have thought of it long before you.
Person 1: Bro! I have a crazy idea! Imagine Frankenstein but he's a prankster, and his name is PRANKENSTEIN. Why has no one ever though of this before?
Person 2: That joke has been used several times already by many other people.
Person 1: Fuck. I'll call this phenomenon "The Prankenstein Effect"

Get the The Butterworth Effect mug.The Pygmalion Effect explains that people tend to perform up to the level that others expect of them. This effect explains why our relationships are usually self-fulfilling prophecies. Once you set expectations for somebody, that person will tend to live up to that expectation, whether it's good or bad.
But the Pygmalion Effect also applies to your personal growth. Your beliefs about yourself impact your actions towards others, which influence their beliefs about you and their actions towards you.

Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. ... In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Get the Pygmalion Effect mug.Named after our so called cause “Danisha” (or Dani for short). “The Dani Effect” is when you meet up with someone on discord after only talking for a few days. Those little talks will somehow become “BF/GF” material and your life will spiral out of control. Most of the time one of the sides featuring in this “relationship” will either be completely uninterested or completely heels over head, there’s no in-between.
