Auditor Smith: The department I just audited is suffering from the Trelawney effect (or Sybill effect).
Auditor James: What did they do?
Auditor Smith: Told us that if we didn't leave this instant and stop disrupting them, then that the planet's core was going to mutate causing a cataclysmic and irreversible instability, our ears would sprout brain eating butterflies, every volcano on Earth would simultaneously erupt, and one out of ever forth human being would transform into a brain and blood sucking zombie/vampire.
Auditor James: What department were you auditing?

Get the The echo-effect mug.The Camwhore Effect refers to the idea of hoarding items with intentions of using them later, even though it is never going to happen. The term derived from the countless number of camwhores to drop by 4chan every once in a while. You save all the pics of these naked amateurs, even though you are never going to look at them again.

Get the Pussebo Effect mug.The Hony Effect is when people get emotionally attached to one of the photos & captions on the Humans of New York page on facebook. Essentially everyone is a star, an artist, a musician, destitute and needs your help. Everyone will feel sympathy for whoever is in the photo because it is HONY and only because it is HONY.
"He is so talented!"
"He should have his own album!"
"I found him on youtube!"
"Oh shit... here comes the Hony Effect..."
