Get the Asian Effectmug. The "plethora effect" is when kids use words in college application or SAT essays that sound good but they don't really know the meaning of. Sometimes they'll accidentally use thme as words that sound similar but have completely different meanings (for example, accidentally saying homeliness instead of homelessness) or sometimes they'll just be totally wrong. It was given the name a few years ago when someone decided that "plethora" was a 'good SAT word' and everyone started using it in college essays, much to the chagrin of the people who actually read the things. It's basically a result of kids prepping for the SAT and college process too much. (Starting SAT review books in middle school, taking tons of Princeton Review classes, etc.) Can sometimes be helped with the use of spellcheck.
Admissions person 1: "Look at this, this girl's essay is about how 'fragile and venerable' she was as a middle schooler, and how much she's grown."
Admissions person 2: "That's the plethora effect for you..."

Scientists Professor Keating and Doctor Beattie have researched humor and laughter in the Aaron effect and identified its benefits. They have presented findings claiming that the laughter opens the linings of the blood vessels in the heart after evaluating patients who watched comedies compared to patients who watched dramatic movies. This can aid in reducing high blood pressure and the number of heart attacks experienced by people.
It is primarily a social vocalization that is not a learned group reaction but an instinctive behavior programmed by our genes.

Named after the famous Nelson Mandela this conspiracy theory Is when a large group of people remember something being a certain way, but when people go back and look at it, it has changed or is gone in this universe with no reasoning other than "it's always been like that"
Two popular theories on the Mandela effect are:
Time Travel- Some believe that times travels have come back to the past and changed one little thing that ended up changing many other things kinda like the butterfly effect Think about it the future has already happened so even if time travel is say 1,000 years in the future it has already been done which means time travelers are going back to the past which is our present and changing little things.
Parallel Universe- Others believe that sometime in the last decade or two the world went through a black hole or that our "original world" ended and now we are in this Parallel Universe where something changed in the process of switching or going through the black hole. (most think in the years 2000 or 2012 this happened cause many thought the world was gong to end)

Get the Mandela Effectmug. "Mass Effect" is a euphamism for "The second best thing ever invented". The first being, of course, Mass Effect itself. If a person loves something very much, they may say it is Mass Effect. If they say this they mean that thing is the best thing ever invented since Mass Effect itself.
