The Emil effect

The Emil effect; where one is hanging around Emil and enters a huge depressive episode, or their mental health gets worse, just from simply being around him. Anyone can be an Emil, so be careful as they are very draining people.

Jake: “The Emil effect is everywhere”
Chris: “What’s the Emil effect?”
Jake: “The Emil effect is where hanging round a certain person makes your mental health worse”

The Asing Effect

When the Dunning-Kruger Effect is insufficient in describing the boundless depths of the sufferer's ineptitude.

Adam believes the Earth is flat and due to his raging case of the Asing Effect, he believes he can win any debate on the subject against field-leading astronomers. Don't be like Adam. It's ok to admit when you have no expertise or even knowledge of a subject.

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.

The Shoelace Effect

When things go wrong, they will be right again - all loose ends will be tied up.

"Hey, yesterday everything seemed to go wrong but today, everything that went to shit is good again! Weird."
"Yeah, that's the shoelace effect."

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 fourloko effect

When you drink till you drop, but you don’t drop because you’re zooted off uppers, so you just drink and drink and drink, and possibly die, and drink, and then go missing for an hour, and drink,

“If you’re planning to blow through a whole bottle of Bacardi and an 8ball, invite more than 2 people so you don’t die from the fourloko effect”
“Adderal is not a party drug. Trust me, I got alcohol poisoning from the fourloko effect.”
