Butterfart effect

The butterfart effect is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. One person farting can trigger another to do so as well. The concept is imagined with an individual farting in public and the unexpected socio-psychological consequences. Of course, a single act like the individual flapping its buttocks cannot cause a shitstorm.

Little did Phil know that his loud breaking of wind in the elevator had a butterfart effect on the whole office block. The place reeked for hours.

The nb effect

named after a person, the "nobody" effect is when someone is talking about nothing related to the conversation, continuing until they either get mad that everyone else wont listen or just stop talking after 45 minutes
can be a subtile way to say someone is on the effect during a call/ message without being harsh

friend 1:"yo, this dude over there, just kept talking about pokemon cards for about an hour with no one "
friend 2 : " his he on the nb effect?"
friend 1:yup

shiki effect

The Shiki effect is a simple concept, it consists of a girl hopelessly falling for a guy that she has met online, within a period of time of 1-3 days. To some her wording can be seen as retarded, however, she repeatedly uses "Hey lol", "......", and"looooool", but this is done to attract Shiki. She inevitably becomes obsessed with him, frequently asking for him to answer her dm, even though he has purposely ignored the dm- sometimes longer than 12hours- to create an insatiable thirst, where the girls continuously beg for his attention. As soon as a girl is trapped in the Shiki effect, it's safe to say that eventually, she will get shiki'd and in the near future even suffer from Shiki syndrome.

To my surprise, the girl is often introduced to the Shiki effect and still falls for Shiki. It's truly amazing seeing girls falling for him and still question why they fell for him, shortly after getting shiki'd.

She's going to fall into the shiki effect.

The Stripper Effect

The phenomenon where the person cheated on blames the other woman instead of their significant other, who is the actual guilty party. Often caused by internalized misogyny.

The impact of the Stripper Effect became evident when Sheila marched right past her cheating boyfriend, Dave, and tackled Megan, the other woman, to the floor.

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.

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.
