The Cicierega Effect

The Cicierega Effect (named for Neil Cicierega) is when *literally nobody can spell your name without having to google it*. Whoever decided what your last name is was an absolute dick.

The namesake itself is only a mild example. A famous mega-example is Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegel­steinhausen­bergerdorff­welche­vor­altern­waren­gewissenhaft­schafers­wessen­schafe­waren­wohl­gepflege­und­sorgfaltigkeit­beschutzen­vor­angreifen­durch­ihr­raubgierig­feinde­welche­vor­altern­zwolfhundert­tausend­jahres­voran­die­erscheinen­von­der­erste­erdemensch­der­raumschiff­genacht­mit­tungstein­und­sieben­iridium­elektrisch­motors­gebrauch­licht­als­sein­ursprung­von­kraft­gestart­sein­lange­fahrt­hinzwischen­sternartig­raum­auf­der­suchen­nachbarschaft­der­stern­welche­gehabt­bewohnbar­planeten­kreise­drehen­sich­und­wohin­der­neue­rasse­von­verstandig­menschlichkeit­konnte­fortpflanzen­und­sich­erfreuen­an­lebenslanglich­freude­und­ruhe­mit­nicht­ein­furcht­vor­angreifen­vor­anderer­intelligent­geschopfs­von­hinzwischen­sternartig­raum Sr. (And yes, he gave his name on to his son.)

Cases of it can be found in names of other things, for example places (Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu, Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein), or departments of governments (Mannanafnanefnd), but it's mostly in human names, perhaps because names of other things have a tendency to be memorized by nerds.

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.
