The Richi Rich Effect

Describes a movie or a TV show which was good when you were a little kid but sucks now when you're old.
named after the crappy movie "Richi Rich".

Man, I really loved that movie when I was little but now it has the Richi Rich Effect and I just can't watch it.

College Girl Effect

College Girl Effect- is when a younger girl surrounds herself with older girls to make herself seem older.

I was really surprised how old that girl was. She defiantly wasn't in college. She was totally using the college girl effect.

Chinese Democracy Effect

When something long-awaited that's usually in development hell, like a movie, video game, or album, falls short of its built-up hype when it's finally released. Named for the Guns N' Roses album of the same name, which after 15 years was finally released, to mediocre reviews.

I hope Duke Nukem Forever doesn't become a victim to the Chinese Democracy effect.

Whole Foods Effect

This is when a Whole Foods supermarket moves into a typically poor or low-income neighborhood, leading to a change in the community. It turns from minorities to young adults who yuppify the area, driving up rents and changing the personality of the community. Places like Starbucks and hipster clothing stores tend to follow in Whole Foods.

Jim: "Where did all these vegetarians and hipsters come from?"
Tom: "Remember when that Whole Foods took over Alex's Groceries?"
Jim: "Yeah.."
Tom: "Well they all started showing up like a month later. It's the Whole Foods effect bro."
