When a bomb, specifically contstructed by ducks (dont' ask), explodes. The ensuing silence before the explosion is "the Compton effect."
In slang often shortened to merely "compton." Refers to the awkward silence after a bad "yo mama" joke.

The moment of realization and reorientation of previously held dogmatic frameworks into an updated model which is more adequate then the now previous one.
This happens to us all when after framing a particular environment or action adequately the frame no longer needs continuous updating. This is usually expressed as "that's how I've always done it" sort of mentality or a kind of auto-drive. This mode is not focused on updating the original adequate framework and therefore becomes background or second nature.
Integrally speaking, this is a mode which does not focus on the environment or action in the external but tends to focus on the internal felt experience while at the same time inhibiting the individual from reframing the previous into greater context. This can be avoided by sharing your framework with others, attempting to take a different approach, or seeking to improve the existing modes. All of these will help to expand the frame towards greater contextual inclusion and culminate in the experience of the Pazsitzky Effect.

Routinely taking a short trail hike, finishing, and hoping it was longer or more of an exercise. When you express that felt desire to a friend, seek alternate options, or seek to re-strategize for the desired outcome you start to orient from a different perspective and help encourage the growth and re-orientation of the initial frame. The resulting Ah-ha moment of re-orientation is the Pazsitzky Effect.
Positive Effects:
From this you may realize you can just do the same short trail hike as many times as you'd like to provide the desired outcome.
Negative Effects:
Your sharing of initial perspective may result in your friend or others being awestruck, dumbfounded, and may even result in them calling you names.

The Coffeezilla Effect refers to a phenomenon where someones opinion of Stephen Findeisen (Coffeezilla) changes negatively after the person has been criticized or exposed by him.
“Man, Coffeezilla used to be such a great journalist until he pointed out how much of an idiot I am - 'The Coffeezilla Effect' in full swing.”
“Coffeezilla is a great journalist, and I can’t think of a single example of him getting one wrong - EXCEPT for when he came after ME and unleashed the 'The Coffeezilla Effect'.”

Developed by Kevin in describing Martins consistent exercise of the fundamental governing laws of economics. Martin has given a new meaning to the term, "supply and demand." Martins ability of not being around when others talk about him has caused him to become immortalized in legendary delusions others fabricate as a defense mechanism in result of compensating for his lack of presence in their lives, also known as "ZEUS Effect".
His lack of presence is the greatest anomaly since wheat bread at the Cheesecake Factory. With his brief sightings throughout the US, including the Angeles Crest Forest, the Rocky mountains,( because he's can stay warm there shirt-less),and Las Vegas (because of they support limitless buffets that can satisfy his appetite,) Martin has established a reputation and following one of many known as "Smartin," to the educational community, "Bubba" to the" CEA (Competetive Eating Association,)" and "Sasquatch," to the southerners. The longest Martin sightings has taken place in a series of buffets throughout the U.S. Which after an encounter, end up claiming bankruptcy in result of martins insatiable appetite. Refusing the Right To Service to Martin would be considered the eight deadly sin...especially at a buffet.

Zeus Effect Examples:
"Martin didn't give me a birthday present, but its okay because I think he is a descendant of Abraham Lincoln and that's Present ENOUGH for me".
"Man I think martin is in training to be an Astronaut because I hear he is so heavy he wont bounce as much on the moon when he is collecting rocks and junk".
" I think martin is in training to be an Astronaut because due to the recession, NASA doesn't have to spend as much money on padding the space suit for thermal ventilation".
"I think Martin is in training for the Olympics because he has ignored all of my text messages. It must be Illegal to call him".
"Damn...I think Martin is playing for the Harlem globetrotters in 2007 cuz I barely saw him around".
"Martins must be a descendant of the Vikings because he's got enough body hair for a 72 hour bond fire".
