The Oki Effect

When waiting for something, asking about when it'll be done or finished, only increases the amount of time you must wait for it.

While asking about the playtest, the players were unaware they were making The Oki Effect creep forward slowly.

the lifehacker effect

It means having too much traffic on a web site due to its link being posted on lifehacker.com as a feature article, sometimes even causing the featured web site to go down.

I just visited the site, but it seems the lifehacker effect took off again!

e.g.2
The 'Person': This should be a saturday night pizza fetish
The room: What? this isn't sexual..
The 'Person': a fetish is a gathering of people, right?

The Accordion Effect

This happens when you witness a line of traffic in which a bunch of dumb ass drivers are tailgating each other only to back off and repeat the process again. Characterized by people who brake constantly while driving and continuous speeding up and slowing down. It can be especially frustrating if this happens on the highway in the left lane when you are in a hurry and you don't want to get caught up or when it occurs on a single lane road where you are unable to pass. Resembles that of an accordion.

Looks like Steve is gonna be late to work again on the account of The Accordion Effect.
