Tribble Effect

A phenomenon that occurs when in Star Trek Online, someone pets their tribble, and others nearby proceed to follow suit.
I went into a crowded space, and petted my tribble. Nearly everyone else nearby who had a tribble petted theirs, as well. Thus, the Tribble Effect.

Lotion Effect

When a girl begins to tear when they look at you, specifically if you are attractive.
I don't know why but every time I look a cute guy, I begin to tear up for no reason. He's got that lotion effect when I look at him.

Drag Effect

The phenomenon of farting, and walking away with the intention of avoiding potential embarrassment. However, the fart is dragged away with the culprit as the underwear and pants act as a fishing net that encapsulates, and sweeps the fart with it. The culprit does not walk away from the fart, but instead drags the fart with them.
Kevin: One sec, I'll brb, I needa squeeze one out.
Jake: That's chill, but remember to walk away to an ISOLATED area, as the drag effect will soon be implemented.
Kevin: How could I forget? Thanks! How can I prevent drag effect?
Jake: Wear mesh shorts, or drop your non-mesh pants to the floor before walking away, that'll do the trick.

worf effect

The principle that, in fiction, the strongest member of the cast gets utterly wailed on in order to establish just how powerful the villain of the week is. Differs from the Red Shirt in that the Red Shirt isn't given any characterization beyond his/her name, while the Worf is a properly developed character. Named after Worf in Star Trek, wherein he kept getting trashed by the bad guys.
Yo, did you see that new show?

Yeah! That tough guy wound up getting curb stomped.

Worf effect, no doubt.

The Boardwalk Effect

When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.

Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.

Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.
*at a party*
Bro 1 (11:00pm)- Man this party is kinda wack, the chicks here are not fine.
Bro 2 (11:00pm)- Yeah I feel you man, whatever its early i'm sure it will get better.

Bro 1 (12:30am)- Dude some of these chicks are starting to look good...
Bro 2 (12:30am)- Yeah I know, we need to get the hell out of here, its the Boardwalk Effect.
