Prince Andrew Effect

A modernist approach to the Streisand Effect, in which when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information.

Coined by the masses following British Royal Prince Andrew's request for all testimony in the Maxwell case to be kept secret.
The testimony from the Maxwell case will go public by virtue of the Prince Andrew 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."

El Nino Effect

Noun. The El Nino Effect is a tropical weather system pattern that does stuff and we don't know what, neither do meteorologists. Which is why they use, this term when they don't know what the fuck is going on, just to cover their asses and to make them sound intelligent. As well as, to give the impression that there is "skill" involved in fortune telling. Oh, I mean meteorology.
Meteorologist: Hey we have this crazy tropical storm coming but we don't know what the fuck it's doing or why. What do we tell the public?

Head Meteorologist: *looks at the doppler radar* I don't know why the fuck its doing that.... tell them it's El Nino Effect.
