The Birdy Effect

The process by which any sufficiently timeless song will eventually get a stripped-down, slow tempo acoustic cover, usually featuring ethereal female vocals (à la Birdy or Ellie Goulding).

The Commodity Effect

When an object or commodity goes from being as common as water when you are not looking for it, to extremely unethically rare when you do need it.

The Farley Effect

When a sheep (or person who blindly let's the world think for them) goes into denial from a challenged worldview based on fact.

Did you see how Jan got when Jake told her that American's committed mass genocide on Indians? She had The Farley Effect!
