The Joseph Effect

Joseph Effect - a phenomenon that makes us question even the skill of ourselves. In February 2022, the famed New York Times crossword puzzle made it the theme, and defined it as, "a hex that enables terrible teammates of Joseph's recyclable plastic elo, to que up in your match, while allowing enemies of your higher silver-gold elo to connect as well, creating an unbalanced game that makes you question your capabilities as a player"

Man, we got shit on this game, I think I might be getting worse...
Nah bro it's just the Joseph Effect.

The Dickerson Effect

The sobering effect of hanging out with someone who is way drunker than you, bringing your buzz down in comparison to theirs

The Cheerleader Effect is when a group of women seem hot, but only as a group. Just like with Cheerleaders they seem hot, but take each one of them individually - sled dogs

" Look, there's hot group of girls over there. " says Lily.
" That, my friend is the cheerleader effect, look at each of them individually. " says Barney.
