LaCoste Effect

(2004) Synonym with white flight. Literally, an unorganized movement of white 16-22 year olds away from the old Abercrombie staple to once again, recapture a sense of patrician exclusivity characteristic of many American whites.

The LaCoste Effect increases as the frequency of non-white Abercombie- wearers increase.

Shawshank Effect

When you're flipping through channels and come across the film Shawshank Redemption, and have to stop all space and time to watch it for the umpteenth time. Because it never gets old.

Man I was flipping thru channels yesterday afternoon, right before I was due in court, and missed my court appointment due to the Shawshank Effect.

El Nino Effect

Noun. The El Nino Effect is a tropical weather system pattern that does stuff and we don't know what, neither do meteorologists. Which is why they use, this term when they don't know what the fuck is going on, just to cover their asses and to make them sound intelligent. As well as, to give the impression that there is "skill" involved in fortune telling. Oh, I mean meteorology.

Meteorologist: Hey we have this crazy tropical storm coming but we don't know what the fuck it's doing or why. What do we tell the public?

Head Meteorologist: *looks at the doppler radar* I don't know why the fuck its doing that.... tell them it's El Nino Effect.
