When hitting or tapping on an electronic device of some kind suddenly solves what ever it was that was preventing it from working properly, or changing the song on the jukebox to Elvis Presley's Hound Dog.
Fonzie would at times demonstrate an almost magical ability to manipulate technology with just a nudge, bump or a snap of his fingers (The Fonzie Effect) for things such as starting a car, turning on lights, coaxing free sodas from a vending machine, making girls respond, or changing the song selection on a jukebox - occasionally pounding one with his fist and eliciting the response of a classic 1950s tune, such as the Elvis Presley song Hound Dog.

That person is usually a non-smoker.
That person is usually a non-smoker.
Person 1 (Talking about person 3) - Man I thought he doesn't smoke!
Person 2 - Yea, that the Jabro Effect
Person 3 - *Mumble uncontrollably blabbering and laughing, higher than anyone else*

Get the The Jabro Effect mug.Listening to any songs or albums and thinking it's okay, but not good. Then playing it again and it starts to grow on you. (It can be used also in other situations)
Friend 1: Have you listened to that new 21 Savages album, I am> I was?
Friend 2: Yeah, but it wasn't that great.
(Few days later)
Friend 1: Do you mind listening to 21?
Friend 2: Np I like it now, it has the Astroworld effect!
Friend 2: Yeah, but it wasn't that great.

Get the Ken Effect mug.Man, Karen tried to rip a silent fart but it didn't matter because we could all see the ballooning effect.

Get the The Ballooning Effect mug.The unnecessary delay a Police Officer takes before lawfully taking someone's life. An unnecessary delay that puts an officer in grave danger himself because he is fearful of unjust criticism and scrutiny from the media, critics, citizens, celebrities and politicians, etc. The fear a Police Officer experiences for being wrongly accused of being a racist in a fatal shooting.
That cop almost got wasted because of the Ferguson Effect waiting too long to shoot Jimmy Jones fearing he would be called a racist.
