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.

The Maya Grace Effect

When someone on Twitter creates an entirely fake life and after being called out tries convince themselves and others that it’s real, usually resulting in people creating memes about it.

“So you think the new firefighter at your station is the real life version of someone you saw on tv? That’s the Maya Grace effect right there.”
