ripple effect

is caused by a bunch of kleptomaniacs
in a store, ripping off the same item.
Store owners get nervous as it puts
their customers under duress.

'xcuse me, can´t find the condoms.
what aisle please?"
"Sorry maam, we're out of them. We had
a problem yesterday...you know, hmm the ripple effect.

verklas effect

phenomenon in which something appears quite good initially, but upon further investigation is revealed to be a FAIL.

The verklas effect was in play when meeting my blind date as I was mad keen to meet her. Upon meeting her I discovered she had a face that would stop a clock.

Reindeer Effect

The reindeer effect is as an instance where something that is gross, unattractive, unintelligent, savage, unappealing, or just completely awful in real life is redefined through cartoons and cultural representations as cute, cuddly, cunning, kind, attractive, or appealing. For example, reindeer and most animals or anything else that is personified through cartoons or songs.

I went to Africa and was nearly killed by an angry Hippopotamus that charged out of the river and attacked our Safari truck unprovoked! I didn't they were so vicious, probably because of how friendly they look on those Hungry Hungry Hippos commercials. I blame our lack of caution around hippos on the reindeer effect that that game has created.

Lather Effect

(n.) or (v.)
The effect of not being able to get drunk because of a high-state of trashedness the night before.

If you have been highly wasted one night, and try to get inebriated the next night it will cost you a fortune because it's nearly impossible.

The term comes from trying to lather a loufah, but it will not lather if there is still soap in it from the day before.

"I got so throwed on Thursday night there's no way I can get drunk tonight, you know...lather effect."

Dude 1: "You've had like 7 drinks and you're still a freakin intellect"

Dude 2: "Lather Effect, I had a crazy night last night."
