An effect, usually on men, that pertains to girls in Manhattan where they become prettier and more attractive because of their location (the Manhattan borough). This can also pertain to their physical look, as it may have a particular style that cannot be found in any other parts of the world, but this also might be just because you found them in Manhattan.
I swear she's not that attractive, but somehow I like her

Get the Manhattan Effectmug. when you miss the chance to use the bathroom and then become constipated. See Sienfeld, Episode 63, "The Pilot" (part 1).
the kramer effect- "I didn't make it to a private bathroom to poop when I had to go two days ago, and I haven't been able to go since."
genesis:
KRAMER: (acting very bad) I saw Joe DiMaggio in Dinky Doughnuts again, but this time, I went in. (pause, stops acting) Oh! Uh, where's the bathroom?
STU: I think if you go down the hall, it's on the right at the very end.
KRAMER: Yeah. Be right back. (Kramer leaves)
(We see Kramer, groaning and holding his stomach, running down the hall, and opening the bathroom's door. Someone in there says: "Sorry buddy, full house." We then see Kramer outside leaving the building and running across the street to a restaurant: "Sorry, customers only" ...running into a movie theater: "Hey you need a ticket!" ...running through the park...)

(Kramer enters)
JERRY: Hey. What happened to you yesterday?
KRAMER: I got mugged.
GEORGE: You got mugged?
JERRY: Mugged?
KRAMER: Well, I wouldn't have minded it so much but I was running home to go to the bathroom.
JERRY: Why didn't you use the bathroom in the building?
KRAMER: It was full. I tried a few other places, you know, but that didn't work. I mean it was an emergency Jerrry. I was really percolating... So I decided to run home through the park and then these two guys they stopped me and...

Get the the kramer effectmug. When a video game becomes popularly hated due to its fandom as opposed to the game itself. Part of cringe culture. Often results in a hatewagon.
"Let's play Fortnite!"
"Eugh, why Fortnite? That game sucks. The community is filled with whining kids."
"Didn't you have the same reaction to Undertale? It was a good game but the community ruined it? Isn't most Fortnite hate just another Undertale effect?"

Get the Cheshire Effectmug. The event where if a food uses too much ketchup and someone considers it good, it is because they like the taste of ketchup and not the overall dish. This can also apply with other condiments like hot sauce.
The following meatloaf has been affected by the ketchup effect.
Dude 1: "Dang dude, this meatloaf is so good!"
Dude 2: "The hell are you talking about? This shit tastes like ketchup."

Get the Ketchup effectmug. Named after the "barely a food" item, the vienna sausage. Used to indicate something is good the first time you try it, but it progressingly gets worse and worse... usually after the second or third instance.
This food has the vienna effect, first bite is good, second bite is ok, third bite is eh.... And the rest after that are nasty.
