Groundhog Effect

When a penis becomes so timid or cold it climbs back into the body and hides, forming a temporary vagina.

This one time I went to a party where I didn't know anyone and my penis did the groundhog effect.

I was about to have sex with someone when I got a little nervous and my penis did the groundhog effect, so we just scissored and used a double sided dildo.

Tyson Effect

Named in the post-millenium era by Olympic High Jumper, John Winter, it refers to a human characteristic when the body confronts danger and freezes. In popular culture, it can often be said as "My life flashed before my eyes".

That giant puffball was rolling right toward the armored woman, but unfortunately she suffered from the Tyson Effect as another statistic of life and stock encountered.

The phenomena where people act crazy and make faces when looking at a mirror. They will not make those faces otherwise and only they do it when they see themselves in reflective surfaces.

Some would feel a weird urge to do those faces when looking at a mirror. This is referenced in many movies and shows where the actor make funny faces looking at the bathroom mirror.

Man 1: look at that dude making stupid faces in front of the mirror
Man 2: aaah. he is having the mirror effect
***********
Man 1: You know, every time i look at myself in a mirror, i can't help but re-enact stupid scenes with exaggerated facial expressions
Man 2: Many do that, that's the mirror effect.
