Noun: The Re-Telling of a joke that you already tried to tell but it fell flat or no one heard, so you try to make the same joke again when you should have just let it go. Just let it go, man...

Background: On a talk show once, George Clooney made a joke that apparently no one heard. Everyone was still laughing about something else. So he waited a moment until everyone finished laughing, and then repeated the exact same joke a SECOND TIME. That time he got the laughs for the joke.

SEE ALSO: Pulling a George. This one is much more nefarious. In this instance someone ELSE made a joke that nobody heard... except for you. And then when the laughter clears, you STEAL THEIR JOKE and tell it as if it was YOURS... so you get the laughs for THEIR JOKE. Don't pull a George, asshole!
"Dude, your joke was lame enough the first time... Definitely not worthy of pulling a Clooney!"

Clooney Effect 

When a guy is too good looking and intimidates any surrounding social group. The guy is considered to be so good looking (like the actor George Clooney) that he has a hard time getting woman to trust him because they think he's a player. Also the men around him get jealous and try to push you out of the social group with drama so they have a better chance with the women in the group.
Girl: "Hey, I don't get a good vibe from him, he's very handsome and I think he's a player"

Girl2: "Yea, he suffers from the Clooney Effect, give him a chance though... don't judge too quickly."
