The idea that individuals who are FEMALE and deemed "pretty" are selected for high level positions or prestigious awards based solely on the fact that they are FEMALE and "pretty". Why else was she picked as John McCain's running-mate?

A very complex psychological phenomenon where, if you are forbidden from being with someone (i.e. Married, friendzone, not interested, etc.) they become infinitely more attractive.
Guy 1: Holy crap that chick is so hot!!
Guy 2: No she isn't, she only looks like it because of the Forbidden Fruit Effect.
Guy 1: What do you mean?
Guy 2: She's married, and you can't have her, so she is a forbidden fruit.

n. When you eat a food that feels great when you're eating it but five minutes later it makes you very tired and bloated. Derived from the title food, Hot Pockets, which are famous for being disgusting and delicious at the same time but ultimately causing a nap to ensue a few minutes after its consumption. Examples include Hot Pockets, Lucky Charms and McDonalds.

An excellant award winning AAA scifi video game developed by Bioware and published by EA. In Mass Effect 3 you play as Commander Shepard a Spectre who must save the galaxy from a Reaper invasion. Hundreds of critics praised Mass Effect 3 and it scored dozens of perfect reviews. Unfortunatly the game was hated by thousands of Mass Effect fans because of the sad ending. Many claimed that the last sad ten minutes of the twenty+ hour experience destroyed the entire game. These fans were so disgruntled by the depressing ending that they created the Retake Mass Effect movement. Many developers were harrassed, hundreds of petitions were signed and Bioware was even reported to the Better Buisness Bureau by a Retake Mass Effect member. Eventually Bioware gave into the whining legions of Retake Mass Effect members. Extended cut a free DLC that adressed the plotholes and cliff hangers was released, but this didn't satisfy infact it just made the whiners even more angry because the ending was still sad. Now Mass Effect 3 a brilliant game will just be remembered as a big disapointment by the gaming community.

a.k.a. turned tables.
When your job gets reversed. When your shit gets all messed up just the way you messed up someone else's shit.
The concept comes from a fortune bubble gum wrapper that reads "Man who live in glass house should not throw stone."
This concept is often ignored when people do things for someone else.

Did you hear about what happened to Alice?
She's suffering from glass house effect.
She cast the first stone and just kept throwing, then one of 'em hit her glass house and, well, you can imagine.
I heard she did it herself.

The Morgan Freeman effect occurs when a God-like actor such as Morgan Freeman appears in an otherwise awful movie and makes it awesome just because he is in it.
