bandar effect

The inability to perform when there are others present. Origins of the term come from Madison, WI. It may be that Prince Bandar himself operated best out of the public eye.

It was going okay with her in my dorm room, but then my roommate came home--his Bandar effect really salted my game.

Twilight Effect

Teenagers showing up in the ER complaining of severe bite wounds to the neck. Caused by a partner trying to be romantic and fit with the new vampire fetish spawned by the plot of Twilight. If the bite is not deep enough to draw copious amounts of blood, the bactieria in the partners mouth may cause a nasty infection that requires serious hospitalization.

Dude : Did you hear about the 30,000 bite wound cases reported in ERs this year? They call it the twilight effect, stupid people trying to act like vampires.

Chick: Dont judge them, vampires are hot.

Dude: Because nothing says "I love you" like losing a quart of blood.

Chick: You suck, your nothing like Edward Cullen, im going ot read twilight 100 times to purge my mind of any trace of reality.
