Rip Tide Effect

after drinking a bottle of Rip Tide (tastes like carbonated Propel), when you become seriously hyper and crazy. Happens in three stages:

pre-effect: when you first start drinking the Rip Tide, and you get this weird giddy feeling.

effect: not long after you finish the bottle,all the sudden you get really hyper. This stage includes inappropiate jokes, lots of giggling, random bursts of dancing, and other assorted silliness. May last anywhere between 10 minutes and two hours.

post-effect: depending on you, this could be one of two things. either, you just go back to normal, or you expeirence total system shut-down. During total-system shut-down, you'll feel groggy and have trouble concentrating on anything in particular. WARNING!!! It is possible to fall asleep during this stage!

Often happens to middle school students during their lunch period.

After lunch, everyone agreed that the Rip Tide Effect definitley made for good entertainment.

the lebron james effect

1.) lebron james' ability to turn any straight basketball-loving man gay through his beastly skill and ability

2.) lebron james' ability to bring good to everything in his life, just by being lebron james

1.) while watching the cavs game, a boy told his girl how he would literally have sex with lebron if he could. then, when lebron made a 3 pointer in the last second to win the game, the boys orgasmic reaction made the girl feel as though she traded her boyfriend for a shopping buddy, a common result of the lebron james effect

2.) because of their uncanny skill at being lebron james' children, lebron james' children, who are still quite young, have already been offered college basketball scholarships. lebron junior and his less fortunately named brother are firsthand witnesses to the lebron james effect

The Rogers-Astaire Effect

Named after black-and-white movie stars Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, both of whom were amazing dancers and ended up as dancing couples in many of their movies. The effect refers to when someone develops or increases romantic feelings for someone while dancing with them.

Oh man, I just danced with her, and I think she’s the one. Must be the Rogers-Astaire Effect.

the counter-strike effect

A loss in interest in Casual Gaming in titles such as "Call of Duty" or "Grand Theft Auto V". This effect is caused by being introduced to "Casual Competitive" Gaming from titles like "Counter-Strike", "Rainbow Six Siege", and etc.

I loved to play casual games before I played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.. now its all I can play.. thats the counter-strike effect for you.
