Reverse Chihuahua Effect

A chihuahua is a little animal that makes a big noise. So in the "Reverse Chihuahua Effect", it is a big animal making a small noise.

When one tries to be meek. When physically, they are not.

When you are surprised that a meek noise comes from a large or imposing object.

When a big fat person is sneezing and makes a cute little "achoo" sound, you mention to your friend "Damn, that's some 'reverse chihuahua effect' going on".

40 Minute Effect

When a person intentionally self degrades or humiliates themself in order to make them the center of attention temporarily; often derived from a root to fuel a certain sense of narcism.

However the 40 Minute Effect is different from a degradation kink, wherein the person in question receives no sexual stimulation from the humiliation, only a sense of importance.

"Oh my God, look at me! I'm such a horrible dancer! I can't even boogie right!"
