Dishwasher Effect

When a task you enjoyed doing by yourself previously becomes less fun when you're told to do it.

Like when you decide to be a good person and do the dishes, and then your parents ask you to do the dishes. You then no longer want to do the dishes.

You: "I was going to clean my room because I wanted to, but then my mom yelled at me to clean my room. Now I don't feel like cleaning it"

Friend: "Man that's the dishwasher 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

We were all drinking and having a great time until Mike showed up at the party 10 tequila shots in, no one felt quite as drunk anymore. That's the Dickerson Effect, man.

The Restaurant Effect

Subconsciously drinking water at a restaurant while the waiter refills the glass, resulting in a continuous need to use the bathroom throughout the meal.

This is most often seen in nervous people on first dates

Joe: I drank so much water before she arrived! And when she did, I had to leave to go to the bathroom four times during dinner! She probably thinks I'm so weird...

Steve: don't worry man, you were just suffering from the restaurant effect. It could have happened to anyone!

The Cheerleader Effect

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

" I am not impressed with the talent in here tonight. " says Barney.
" 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.
" Woah, I see what you mean! " says Lily.
