The Marvel Effect

What results from overblown wannabe Tony Starks like Elon Musk managing to convince people that our level of technology is far more advanced than it actually is, like the movie franchise always does. Originally from Adam Something's YouTube "Why a Mars Colony is a Dangerous and Stupid Idea".
Those enthralled by the idea of a one-way trip to some Mars Colony in the near future are just deluding themselves with The Marvel Effect.

Chevelle Effect

I always thought the alt-metal/post-grunge band from Grayslake, Illinois was just generic and mediocre. Then I was invited by a friend to a free show of there's. Completely changed my mind on them!!!! I know love Chevelle and totally get it, so whenever I go see a show and a song or band has that same effect, it's known to me as the "Chevelle Effect".
Rob: You see that new Silverstein song live last week?

Craig: DUDE! YES! That gave me total “Chevelle Effect”!!!

Urinal Effect

When a group of people are faced with a row of seats or something similar, those people will tend to sit in every other seat so as not to be creepy to the other people

Comes from the unspoken etiquette of men’s bathrooms that states that they can never use a urinal next to one that another man is using.
I can’t sit down in any of these seats or I’ll be creepy! I’ve fallen victim to the Urinal Effect!”

The Traggorthian Effect

(Pronounced Truh-gore-thee-in)

The Traggorthian effect is when your wife is no longer sexually attracted to you, turning you into an impatient, arrogant individual who walks around with their pubic hair stuck to their thighs.
Can also be defined as an individual who gets angry over nothing at all.
Did you see that guy hammer thumbing his keyboard while smoking an entire cigarette in one drag while also sending that email?? He must be a victim of the Traggorthian Effect.

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.
