(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".

The Bruh Effect is a natural phenomenon in which ones ironic expressions and actions can evolve into bring unironically performed through enough repetition. The Bruh Effect was originally coined when the coinee began to ironically use the term “Bruh” to make fun of those who unironically use the term popularized by the viral clip known as “Bruh Sound Effect #2” by Jame Benedict. The term itself “bruh” is an absurdly sounding term, thus the mockery. However, during the of the ironic usage, the coinee began to subconsciously and involuntarily integrate the term “bruh” into his ironic everyday vocabulary, hence the term, the Bruh Effect. The term “bruh” is, of course, a common example of the bruh effect, but it isn’t the only one. Recently, on internet forums, on social media, and in popular music, a new example has been made. This example is the use of racial slurs.
Person 1: Bruh that was kinda funny
Person 2: I've noticed you've started to use bruh ironicly, sounds like you are experience a case of the Bruh Effect
Person 1: Bruh...

The Nubby Effect simply means that someone who is gay/ pro LGBTQ+ will project their views onto you until you are just like them. Engulfing one into a system of beliefs that makes you bisexual or gay in any manner.
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.
