The Timo Effect

Having the urge to purchase games with the false belief of that they'll enjoy it once they play it. Just to realize their mistake and how much regret they'll hold for the few weeks, just to repeat that same mistake again.
Man 1: "I really like the game that you're playing, I might buy it so we can play."
Man 2: "But I've never really seen you play this type of genre??"
Man1: "Yeah, but this one looks different, I'm sure I'll love it."
*Man 1 plays the game once, and never plays it ever again*
Man 2: "You're going through the Timo Effect."

Airbrush effect

What happens when a person with bad vision forgets their contacts or glasses. Every person seems very attractive no matter what they look like. Any girl looks airbrushed or perfect like a model
Austin- how about that girl over there? She seems hot.

Jeff- nope, it's just the airbrush effect again.

Walker- ya, she's like a 2/10 you need your contacts

nocebo effect

1. The reverse of the placebo effect.

2. It's when you expect to hate something and you end up hating it.
1. Kennedy chose the Latin word nocebo ("I shall harm") because it was the opposite of the Latin word placebo ("I shall please"), and used it to denote the counterpart of the placebo response: namely, an "unpleasant" response to the application of real or sham treatment.

2. I hated the food because I expected it to suck. That's nocebo effect for ya.

The Braces Effect

The effect when one takes of their braces and suddenly changes.

Examples: When a tomboy becomes super girly, when a nun changes into a drunk, when somebody against everything does everything, when a frog turns into a prince.

The point is, The Braces change you. From good to bad, from bad to good.
"Hey remember that girl/guy from high school?"
"Oh the one with the colorful braces? She/He was such a saint..."
"I was partying with her/him last night. You will not believe how drunk she/he got and that's not even the whole story!"
"Whoa, The Braces Effect!"

____________________________

"After they took of their braces the twins changed so much. One got really sexual and the other just did everything he said he wouldn't do!"
"Dayummmm, The Braces Effect really turned them into hypocrites."

Laudanum effect

The state acquired by ingesting opiates in accompaniment with alcohol. Opium and Absinthe are the most desirable substances for use in this combination, as they are most redolent of true Laudanum, a compound of a wide spectrum of opium alkaloids and alcohol once used to treat various medical afflictions, and the time period in which the elixir was common.
Drug addict: I need a serious fix.

Dr. Feelgood: Combine 16 ounces of wormwood-distilled Absinthe with two ounces of dissolved opium, mix until homogenous, and quaff liberally until the desired effects are achieved.

Drug addict: So basically you're telling me to get some tar and a bottle of green fairy and get a nice Laudanum effect?

Dr. Feelgood: Yeah, more or less.
