Referencing comedians Shane Gillis and Jon Lovitz.

During the meeting, Sarah was discussing James's performance, but when she abruptly mentioned Daniel without clearly indicating a shift in subject, Michael, exhibiting the Lovitz-Gillis Effect, remained under the impression that she was still referring to James

This conspiracy theory is when an individual learns about something and hears/sees it being used more often. Although this is an effect, it is actually a psychological effect.

Kayla : Learns the word "disown"
*Starts hearing the word 'disown' more*

OR

*Starts hearing the song in places a lot more*

Those are examples of the 'Ibad Effect'
