when youre sitting in a bar and you spot a good looking girl. the mirage effect comes into play when you spot her. more often than not, this girl is going to seem much finer than she really is. picture yourself in a desert, thirsty for water. you find a bottle of dirty evian. this bottle seems much more attractive, and so you fall for the mirage effect.

When you hear a word or phrase that you haven't heard for a long time, and all of a sudden start hearing it all the time.
Dude 1: I just learned what the word "bucolic" meant. Now, within the past 24 hours, I've heard that word used in three different classes...
Dude 2: Woah, crazy case of the hiatus effect!

The effect by which the longer one is in a relationship, the more like the opposite sex one becomes.
"Hey Gerard, nice skirt!"
"Oh thanks! My girlfriend got it for our anniversary."
"*Gasp!* I guess that's the Fogarty Effect in action..."

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.

The Amazon Effect is when someone has a round booty that shakes and bounces when they walk, causing all eyes to look in disbelief and forget what else is happening. It can affect anyone, anywhere,anytime. Its like a rumble in the jungle.
"You're not even listening, You okay bro?"
"Nah Dude, I cant fu***ng focus. "
"Aww man, The Amazon Effect got you again."
"Nah Dude, I cant fu***ng focus. "
"Aww man, The Amazon Effect got you again."

When you smell worse than a skunk, have the attitude of a monkey who just got shot in the rear, and have a tendency to threaten to throw small people out a window, this is The DeLeon Effect.
A man comes out of his room, and all females are instantly repelled by his stench, which he takes to be the fact that they are all evil and should die, and then grabs the nearest midget and punts them out the nearest window. This man has demonstrated The DeLeon Effect.
