Pia Effect

even in the face of overwhelming talent, a candidate fails to earn enough votes because of sympathetic votes cast for an underdog. voters likely thinking "Pia's gonna win anyway" thereby resulting in a shocking outcome when the obvious front-runner is eliminated.

How many sympathy votes can Stefano and Casey get? Must be the Pia Effect

Gee I wish Bush had won in 1992. Obviously a victim of the Pia effect with people sympathy-voting for Perot. Clinton ran away with it.

Webster effect

When someone looks up the definition of a word and then uses that word more often in conversation, consciously or subconsciously, because the definition is still fresh in their mind.

That's five times now Gulstaff has used the word 'conflagration' in a sentence. He didn't even know what that meant yesterday. Must be the Webster effect.

Gangsta Effect

The Gangsta Effect explains the proportional relationship between how fast one drives with the windows down, and how awesome one thinks one's music sounds.

Those at high risk for The Gangsta Effect commonly listen (but not limited) to: Rap, Hip Hop, Techno, Dub Step, and pretty much anything else with a heavy drum and bass line.

He had a bad case the The Gangsta Effect as he drove his momma's minivan around downtown.
