yellow light effect

When a law or rule has the dubious distinction of making you do the opposite of what was intended.

A literal example of the yellow light effect is to speed up when you see a yellow light. Figuratively, you do the opposite.

lightbulb tan

A lightbulb tan is a tan gained from spending lots of time under a lightbulb. It usually results in people who are abnormally white. People who have lightbulb tans live in places that are in the middle of nowhere, are usually completely antisocial, and seem to never come out of their bright caves.

Rick: Hey where's Jim?

Bob: He is working on his lightbulb tan.
Rick: That antisocial New Jerseyite.

Other friend responding: Search it up on urban dictionary.
