16 Ounce Effect

The effect from drinking 16oz cans of beer, then switching to "normal" 12oz cans. Which in turn brings on the effect of a 12oz can to seem even smaller than it's normal 12oz size.

Did this 12oz can get smaller?" "No, that's just the 16 ounce effect.

golf-course effect

This is the type of facial hair with dual or multi escelons of hair giving the appearance of a golf course. Imagine the transition from the green, to the fairway, to the rough...
often not attractive but perfected by some.

Sometimes this can be attributed by laziness or immaturity--inability to grow hair evenly.

"Billy's beard is the perfect example of the golf-course effect."

The Top Gear Effect

The theory that excessive watching of the car programme "top gear" by middle aged men can descend into the urge to attend decadent, homoerotic gatherings at car show rooms where men perform sexual role plays based on the relationship of the three presenters and fuck the exhausts of expensive cars.

The Top Gear Effect: "Have been binge watching Top Gear repeats on Dave recently and I keep having this really disturbing dream where I'm out riding horses in the desert dressed as a cowboy with Jeremy Clarkson and then when we pitch a tent. for a night... well I don't want to repeat that part of the dream."

The Stan Lee Effect

Movie theaters have a very simple etiquette. Don't talk, silence your phone & keep it put away. Be mindful & respectful to others. At first it was harmless, people would briefly clap to a Stan Lee cameo and continue with the movie. As marvel movies got more popular so did clapping for Stan Lee cameos which went on longer than it should and this is where the Stan Lee effect began. It became obnoxiously normal for people to lose their shit when Stan Lee was on screen to where movie etiquette was completely forgotten. And now the Stan Lee effect has spread to different movies for example Shazam! After a really cool reveal one guy started clapping really loudly then the whole theater started clapping and continued to clap over a few seconds of dialogue. That's TOO MUCH CLAPPING! JUST CLAP AT THE END!

"Why the fuck is everybody clapping? I can't hear what's happening in the movie!"

"It's the Stan Lee Effect, some of these people might be genuine fans but most of these people are just clapping because someone else is, or they wanted to feel special and start a clap wave."

"This isn't even a marvel movie!"
