zebra effect

A state of mental dating distraction. It occurs when an individual on the make is presented with too many equally attractive choices at the same time. Similar to the sensory overload experienced by a lioness crossing open ground to advance on a heard of zebras. The end result is often missed opportunity and frustration.
The zebra effect hit Chico hard as he stared at the table of beautiful woman, unable to decide which one to pursue.

The Pipeline Effect

When 2 or more females (or males, but typically females) team up and form a group that feeds off of received gossip and they will either spread that intel to whoever will listen or twist and turn it into something that’s more exciting and dramatic so that it will spread quicker and faster knowing that the end result will give them such sensual gratification.
Never ever put a group of females together for an extended period of time or else you, your friends and family will be affected by what is known as The Pipeline Effect

Shampoo Effect

The phenomenon of when it takes just a little bit of booze to get drunk the day after a night of many alcoholic beverages. The same way as when a bottle of shampoo is almost empty and it just takes a little bit of water to make more shampoo.

greenhouse effect

1) A major part of the carbon cycle that has helped properly regulate the temperatures of earth and the CO2 levels within earth's atmosphere for quite some time and won't just break because a few humans start driving SUVs and cooking on charcoal grills.

2) The confounded and/or irritated look on someone's face when you tell that "What color is a purple house?" "Purple" "What color is a blue house?" "Blue" "What color is a green house?" "Green" "WRONG! It's clear!" joke, because green houses are actually quite green, and they hate you for telling such a stupid joke.
Next time, stick with "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
I wonder if Al Gore has ever read even a high school essay on the greenhouse effect...
