(n.)
The resulting conversation between two people with artificial, little or no intelligence. While it may seem like a normal conversation from afar, it actually makes little or no sense. Usually had between people who are convinced of their own intelligence, but in fact, have no clue.
A Furby (plural Furbys or Furbies) was a popular electronic toy released in 1998 with apparent "artificial intelligence" (AI). The toys were designed to interact with kids by speaking and responding to voices. The Furbies start out speaking entirely Furbish, a nonsense language with short words, simple syllables, and various other sounds. The Furbies are programmed to speak less Furbish as they learn more English over time.
When two Furbies were placed next to each other, they would respond to each other's speech. Because Furbies have no actual or inherent intelligence, one Furby merely responds to the other's noises with their own limited language. Over time this deteriorates into nonsense, hence "the furby effect".

Nubby and JJ broke up months ago, now she is a bisexual goth girl who can simply be acquainted with weed. This is a prime example of how The Nubby Effect can change someone in a matter of a couple of months.
