Foxbat Effect

The Foxbat Effect is when an autocratic country, wanting to show how threatening and virile they are, overhype the effectiveness of their weapons, prompting wealthier and more powerful liberal democracies to develop weapons designed to actually counter the hyped-up weapons, only to then find out that the perceived threat was a turd.

So named for the MiG-25 “Foxbat”, which prompted the development of the F-15.

The T-90M’s missile countermeasures not working after NATO spent millions on weapons than can counter them is a prime example of the Foxbat Effect.

The Trainline Effect

An observable effect that results in the myopic and inattentive rejection of newer technology without logic and reason, and accusing the technology of causing issues that are simply human error (while the technology provides accurate information based on the request made by the user). This can be observed amongst large samples of the railway workforce.

I observed The Trainline Effect in action as the militant RMT rep once again blogged about a broken ticket machine, exclaiming “COMPUTERS NEVER WORK!”

sikhman effect

A cognitive mind-fuck or cock-block referring to the experience of male sexual ineptitude and incompetence as a result of perceived presence of a holy man during desperate attempts to achieve erection resulting in embarrassment, this effect is often experienced in attempted outdoor sex and in rare cases when a man intends to posture as a victim therefore externalizing blame.

- Honey, I'm sorry I can't get it up... I'm a victim of the sikhman effect.
- It's OK, there is always another time.
