When you are at a party/gathering/school/any situation you are interacting with other people, and someone insults you and you just stand there and can't think of anything to say back, but then when you walk away you think of the perfect comeback.
Person A: *Insults person B*
Person B: Pathetically stands there trying to say something then walks away.
Person B:(while walking away) *Thinks shit, now i know what i should have said, stupid Stairwell Effect*

The flashback-effect is a situation at which one reads something and pictures it in his or her mind with the blurry border, as if it were a scene in a television show and the protagonist were encountering a flashback.
My brother Landon would be twenty-two in a couple days if it weren’t for the shooting right next to where I was sitting. He always came to the skate park with his best friends Cameron and Liam when we were all little kids, and he went boasting to our family about his marvelous skateboarding skills. He started going at age twelve, but he was utterly forced to stop at age eighteen by the bullet that stroke straight between his eyes. . . . If you guys are getting the flashback-effect when reading the part about Landon, picture him as Colin Ford kay?

The CMM Effect is an effect which is transmitted online over the chat client gtalk . It is initiated with MS coming online which is followed by a number of her lovers popping online from their various previous states (Busy, Offline, Idle etc.). It displays the lightning speed of transfer of information, joblessness and reeks of desperation.

usually a term for the use of karate in practical everyday scenarios (i.e. gangfights, dojo wars, laundromats). Similar to 'Street Wise' but different in the fact that it is about the application of knowledge of the learning environment to the real world. It's also much cooler than being streetwise.
'Yo dawg, I'm now so much more street effective now that I know how to improvise instead of following a routine.'

A psychological phenomenon where a word, place or name is pronounced incorrectly by a lot of people. The Lewcatch Effect is to mispronunciations as the Mandela Effect is to false memories, oral discrepancies and spelling errors. Named after Hungarian Marxist philosopher György Lukács, whose surname’s pronunciation is a matter of dispute. He pronounced his last name “LEW-cotch”, while others make the argument that his last name was actually pronounced “LEW-catch.”
Other examples include:
• Dr. Suess = “Soice”, not “Soose”
• Tone Loc = “Tone Loke”, not “Tony Lock”
• Martin Scorsese = “Scor-SEZ-ee”, not “Scor-SAY-zee”
• Gyro = “YUR-row”, not “JYE-row”
• Açaí = “AH-sigh-EE”, not “ah-KAI”

“Yes, I’ll have two chicken jye-rows.” - Nikki
“Nikki, it’s pronounced YUR-rows. You’re not the first person to butcher that pronunciation. In fact there’s a word for people who have picked up the habit of incorrectly pronouncing words. It’s called the Lewcatch Effect.” - Hugh
“Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll have two chicken YUR-rows! Thanks for correcting me, Hugh!” - Nikki

When an NBA basketball team has a celebrity on the sideline (such as Drake in Toronto) intimidating the opposing team causing them to choke in the playoffs or any other game of high importance.
Did you see Giannis miss those two free throws at the end of the fourth quarter? The Drake Effect is strong-
Looks like Jimmy Buffet is sitting on the front row down in Miami. The Heat are hoping for a Drake Effect.
