007 Effect

The 007 Effect (also called James Bond Effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.

Called the 007 Effect - in reference to the James Bond character - as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of James Bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first Bond film in the 1960's will tell you Sean Connery played the best Bond, however those that saw their first Bond film in the 1990's will tell you Pierce Brosnan is the best).

Mike: Hey, John I hear that Dave got fired? You guys had lunch all the time didn't you?
John: Yeah, he was let go last week. The wierd thing is our Manager keeps going on about why he got fired - showing me emails and letters. If you ask me, that's just wrong - that's confidential information.
Mike: Well, that's the 007 Effect for you. Management know that you will probably catch up with Dave sometime soon.

The Mother Effect

When a girlfriend smothers and subjugates her boyfriend by taking the roll of his mother. Leaving the boyfriend to act like a child and grow immature. The boyfriend then is often found craving the attention of the "mother" (girlfriend) causing a dependent and unhealthy relationship.

Because Hannah has used "The Mother Effect" on her lover John, he has become a man-child.

The Sandy Effect

(Noun) - the process of elaborate, underhanded, yet whimsical deceit of an unwitting stranger, usually emphasizing the use of telecommunication devices and web-based social networking forums and/or media platforms. The Sandy Effect cannot be borne through malicious intent, only through the serendipitous collision of an unsuspecting victim and an unsuspecting "Sandy."

Person 1: Did you hear about Stacey? She wasted the whole week texting some random guy who she thought was her TA.
Person 2: Oh snap, no way! Another victim of "The Sandy Effect"...

The "Shots" Effect

Whenever the song "Shots" LMFAO ft Lil Jon comes on the radio, your iPod, your iTunes, or whatever really, you must immediately bust out shot glasses and take atleast one shot before the song is over (preferably during the "shots" chorus) no matter what you are doing.

Angie and Joie were sitting around the kitchen table doing important papers when the song "Shots" came on Angie's iTunes. They immediately felt The "Shots" Effect and proceeded to do a peppermint patty shot right then and there.
