This refers to men having a preference for blondes, as well as the supposed increased sales of magazines that feature a blonde on the cover. Named after Anita Loos, author and screenwriter, who wrote "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
We'll put a well-endowed blonde on the cover of next month's magazine and take advantage of the Anita Loos effect.

Get the Anita Loos effect mug."Mass Effect" is a euphamism for "The second best thing ever invented". The first being, of course, Mass Effect itself. If a person loves something very much, they may say it is Mass Effect. If they say this they mean that thing is the best thing ever invented since Mass Effect itself.
Guy: Oh, man, I really love Carrots."
Girl: Really? How would you describe your love for carrots?

Get the Mass Effect mug.The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.
This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.

Get the The Wikipedia Effect mug.See also: effin, effin', f'ng, f'n, F-ing
Derivative of the word ‘fucking’, 'effing' means litterally ‘F-ing’. You may see it used on a message board where derogatory words (such as the f-word) are not allowed, to take the place the un-allowed.(Note that on sites such as GameFAQs, this is known as censor bypassing, and you most likely will get modded for it, whether be by a nobleman or some n00b merely&purely because s\he can.) It is, however, its own, unique word, seperate from ‘fucking’ or ‘f'ing’ or ‘F-ing’ in its entireity.
The reason that "I'm late for class"'s definition of this word has received such low ratings is for the fact that s\he acted as a ‘language elitist’ and instantly put the word down, when in actuality s\he did not know the etymological origin of the word and whe\how\under what contexts.. it is generally used.
