'My parents always thought I was ill when I was a kid on the toilet, but I was just distracted by transmogrifiers and Dobie-o-matics.'

When someone slowly gets worse and worse at something the longer a session goes on. This effect is mainly caused by the brain sabotaging the session because it grows tired of shit and wants to do something else.
Person 1: AGHHHH!!!
Person 2: You good?
Person 1: NO! I'm trying to beat Deadlocked, but every time I play, I just keep dying earlier!!! I hate this game!!!
Person 2: No you don't. You're just experiencing the Geometry Dash Effect. You gotta take a break to do something else.
Person 1: Yeah. Wanna make out?
Person 2: Hell yeah
*kissing ensues*

Public grief, memorial, and fondness to a person (usually a celebrity) for their good past memories, immediately after hearing recent news about the person's death—despite the same group of people having forgotten, hated, or otherwise disregarded the person immediately during the last period when he/she was still alive.
Billy: *Sad* Joe! Chester Bennington (singer of Linkin Park) and the Dad from Home Alone (John Heard) died just today. They were my childhood!
Joe: *Squinting with a smirk* Yeah, well, you never talked about John Heard before. I bet you never even knew his name until you saw that social media link. And just two days ago you said you hate Linkin Park's newest albums, and that the band sucks!
Billy: *Denying it* I never said that! What I really meant was...
Joe: Nevermind. It's the Chester Bennington Effect . Two days ago, everyone except for LP fans stopped talking about him or instead hated him. Only after he died was when people grieved about the loss of the singer of their previously-unspoken-about childhoods.
