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.

The Garfield effect

When you begin to look for Garfield, you begin to see him everywhere. For example: You see a Garfield plushie in a store or on a T-shirt someone is wearing. Garfield has bacome so mainstream over the last 40 years, that we have subconsiously erased his image from our life.

Person1: "Dude here he is again, Garfield!"
Person2: "You're just crazy, he isn't everywhere."
Person1: "I'm telling you, it's The Garfield effect."

The Johnson Effect

When your cellphone starts to ring as soon as you whip out your Johnson to take a piss.

“I ran to the bathroom to take a humongous piss, and of course the Johnson Effect happened as soon as I whipped out my shlong.

The ChrisPouwels effect

A strange occurance that may occur in many secondary schools. This phenomenon takes place when teachers are marking tests. The outstanding performance of a certain 'ChrisPouwels' student may make other students' work look inferior in comparision despite their work completely meeting the criteria for a high grade. As a result, the student will recieve a lower mark, and exibit side effects including severe rage against aforementioned 'ChrisPouwels.'

I got marked down because of ChrisPouwels. The ChrisPouwels effect took place again today.

The Linux Effect

The Linux effect is when a nerd is so fixated in messing around with his or her Linux computer (then fixing the results of said messing around) that he or she is oblivious to everything else.

This is known to cause displeased partners and messy bedrooms, among other things.

You can really see the Linux effect in Josh's room!
