British Boy Effect

British Boy Effect, also know as B.B.E., is the attraction you feel towards a mediocre-looking boy simply because he is British.

Damn, I thought that guy was ugly until he starting speaking in that sexy accent. It must be the British Boy Effect.

Jones Effect

When your favorite restaurant is closed on certain days or at a certain time and your craving for it becomes stronger during those periods.

I usually feel the Jones Effect on Sunday because Paseo is closed and I cannot get my Midnight Pork sandwich.

Soccer sandal effect

(noun) - The over-reaching and yet inexplicably clever marketing gimmick of labeling and identifying a product (or person) with an often inaccurate, "cool-sounding", or "trendy" description so that the product/person, which would ordinarily be thought of as unattractive, unskilled, and/or worthless, now seems "hot".

See also soccer sandal.

"Super-star" Ashlee Simpson, "actress" Paris Hilton, or "TomKat" are three examples of the "soccer sandal effect".
