Jeter Effect

When a co-worker routinely struggles to achieve success with relatively simple tasks, but maintains the benefit of illusion to the uniformed observer that something grueling is being tackled, thereby garnering undue praise.

I'm getting real tired of Joe in accounting getting all that praise for doing shit. His job is mindless. He's got some serious Jeter Effect going on.

Foxbat Effect

The Foxbat Effect is when an autocratic country, wanting to show how threatening and virile they are, overhype the effectiveness of their weapons, prompting wealthier and more powerful liberal democracies to develop weapons designed to actually counter the hyped-up weapons, only to then find out that the perceived threat was a turd.

So named for the MiG-25 “Foxbat”, which prompted the development of the F-15.

The T-90M’s missile countermeasures not working after NATO spent millions on weapons than can counter them is a prime example of the Foxbat Effect.

Fortz Effect

Being Italian and speaking, writing or communicating in some other way, verbosely and pedantically.

Person: Hey did they play Party Rock Anthem last night?
Fortz: Well yes but in my personal conviction, the song has become hackneyed, banal, platitudinous and trite.
Person: Thats literally all of the synonyms. Fortz effect.
