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(To use an outdated but relevant example)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 Chad Effect

A Chad is a Chad is a Chad, right? Wellll - not so fast.

“The Chad Effect,” was born when a gym bro formed a gym bond with another bro who regularly went with his lads to workout.

Whenever the gym bro sees his bro, he walks over, props him, and acknowledges the existence of the other lads.

NOW - remove the gym bro’s bro from the equation. When the gym bro sees his bro’s lads on their own, he acts as if he does not know them.

Within the same workout, if the bro emerges from the change room and links up with his lads, the gym bro’s amnesia vanishes and he will come over, props his bro, and acknowledge the existence of the others.

Thus…

“The Chad Effect” (phrase) - when a person forgets/ignores - intentionally or unintentionally - another person despite sharing an established mutual connection/friend.
Chris: Yeah, Ariel said, “Invite Jon and Louis and your other buddies,” so fam, you down?

Steven: Hey Sara - guess we’re the ‘other buddies’.

Sara: (single teardrop)

Louis: The

Louis: Chad

Louis: Effect

Louis: …

The Patel Effect

Becoming nose-blind to a particular smell usually due to familiarity with or prolonged exposure to them. Just like Rover from Rover's Morning Glory's childhood friend Patel. Patel's house reeked of curry, but he was not aware of the pungent stank occupying his home. He was oblivious to the fact that basically everything within a 5 mile radius of his house smelled of the aromatic spice. Also known as Odor fatigue or Olfactory adaption.
Jeffrey was confident he could wear his outfit for one more day. However, The Patel Effect prevented him from realizing the truth that he smelled like a daycare's diaper bin.
