Hindenburg Effect

The word Hindenburg being derived from the airship "Hindenburg"; To categorize a subject/object through a Hindenburg Effect is to say that the mentioned subject/object once had a high reputation or a prestige record in something, say what happened to Pewdiepie with the whole Fiverr thing, and then in one fell swoop, destroys their own standing/popularity by their own doing and ruins the state of other objects around them, also like how the Fiverr incident made advertisers pull out from YouTube, and WSJ milking the words "pewdiepie" and "nazi".

TL;DR: To take something's high reputation and have them ruin it themselves and their surrounding state.

(To use an outdated but relevant example)
Guy1: You heard what happened to that Pewdiepie dude? I heard he's a nazi!
Guy2: No, you've got it wrong, he's not a nazi, that's just another claim from his own Hindenburg Effect.

The Curtis Effect

The Curtis Effect is the action in which a person has something done to them, but this person takes either way to long to realise what's happened (a major delayed reaction) or to over emphasise the action done to them, for example someone getting punched and the person that gets hit would fly across the room. This effect tends to take place to people with 100 subscriber YouTube channels and above (this isn't yet known why).

*Person 1 hits Person 2*
(Person 3) "Why did he go so far"
(Person 4) "Must be the Curtis Effect again"

Urinal Effect

When a group of people are faced with a row of seats or something similar, those people will tend to sit in every other seat so as not to be creepy to the other people

Comes from the unspoken etiquette of men’s bathrooms that states that they can never use a urinal next to one that another man is using.

“I can’t sit down in any of these seats or I’ll be creepy! I’ve fallen victim to the Urinal Effect!”
