The Lara Effect

A phrase that encapsulates the expectancy of an individual "one-upping" you after a statement. This involves the systematic and conscious practice of making one's associates feel inferior and thereby gaining the status of being "one-up" on them.

Person A: Have you ever double booked?
Person B (aka "The Lara Effect"): Yeah I have triple booked... lunch, happy hour, and dinner.

Prometheus Effect

A refusal to trust that something, i.e. a film, that looks promising will in any way live up to that promise, and a persistent belief that it will, in fact, totally suck. Based on the sharp discrepancy between the heightened anticipation for Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" based largely on thrilling trailers, and the joyless experience of watching the disjointed, nonsensical & pretentious film.

"I gotta admit that the most recent trailer for "Alien: Covenant" looks kinda cool, but I refuse to get my hopes up and be excited for anything anymore--total "Prometheus Effect".
