Gaster Effect

The Gaster Effect (Undertale term) is when a person mistakenly links anything slightly mysterious, or anything slightly resembling Gaster (leitmotifs, font or face) relating to Undertale or Deltarune, to the character W.D. Gaster, even if it is very hard. This is usually because Gaster is very mysterious and of a certain significance to said games' lore. In most cases, relating things to Gaster is not appropriate for the situation and/or possibly misleading.

A: Woah that new Deltarune song has Gaster's Theme playing at 0:44! If you listen to the piano...
B: Those are just arpeggios. You've got the Gaster Effect

The Germ Effect

When trying to call attention to the flaws of an opponent only to have your own flaws "outed" as a result of personal digging. Similar to the Streisand Effect in the legal community, the Germ Effect calls attention to yourself in an unwanted and unanticipated fashion. The phrase is derived from the great "2011 Yahoo Fantasy Football thread between 'Coach Germ' and 'Teddy Ruxpin.'"

Coach Germ tried to give me shit me for my 17th round pick, but upon taking a look at his team, his antics had "The Germ Effect" when it was discovered that he has 3 #4 wide receivers and 3 running backs who are time-shares.

Jenny Effect

It causes you to become aware/more aware of how discombobulated the US voting system is. However, unlike most others, the Jenny Effect *also* leaves you with some hope, because it includes, if not a complete fix, then a significant step forward to fixing it.

Man, the Jenny Effect is going to play hell with ES+S's ability to illegally determine who wins future elections!
