The Kardashian effect

It's when someone complains about how hard they have it, not to get OR take the help offered, but just simply because they want to get attention and create drama to show how hard they think they think they have it.

Especially useful on social media
Example: I’m stuck on the freeway car broken down, no one for miles, kids screaming in the back seat, my eldest has a disability and doesn’t understand and I have no mobile service but it dropped in enough to post this 😰

Response: Help offered by multiple people all turned down with the ‘ill solider on’, it’ll be ok’ or ‘this is my life I’m used to it’. And yet they can keep responding to said posts/texts. Oh, your suffering from the kardashian effect!

pho-effect

When you’re sick with a sinus infection and eat spicy pho to clear your sinuses. As a result of your spicy-ass pho, you feel better and your face stops trying to drain all the time.
Lorraine: I’m gonna eat this pho so I can have the “pho-effect”.

John: Careful, it doesn’t last long and then your back to feeling like garbage.

Lorraine: It’s worth it

Stupid effect

The stupid effect is when cute online couples break up. For example, david and liza(their ship name is stupid hence the name of this effect) or Lauren and Alex.

Or I hope (insert cute online couple here) doesn’t suffer from the stupid effect!

squeezed lemon effect

When an individual dumps another individual after they have received every possible benefit they could get out of them.

This is a reference to a lemon that gets squeezed every single drop out of it aftrr which it is dumped in the trash can.
Jane got some nice clothing from Joe, a place to stay until she saved up a bit, a new phone, a new car, a great trip to Ibiza. Joe is now poor and Jane abandons him. Poor Joe just became a victim of the squeezed lemon effect.

The River Effect

When one individual within a team or group speaks first during a presentation, however during their speaking they cover all of the notes which were meant to be covered by the group as a whole. This generally renders the rest of the group in a awkward and unpleasant situation of not having any information to contribute to the discussion.
River, Dave, and Alex are all presenting a project on elephants. They have a 2 page summary of notes.
River is the first to speak, and in his brief time speaking he covers all 2 pages of notes. This leaves the rest of the group with nothing to say.

This is "The River Effect" , everyone else in the group is stuck awkwardly stumbling for things to say or contribute.

Melee Effect

When one has been playing the best selling game for the Nintendo

Game Cube, Super Smash Bros Melee., competitively, for too long and have become so hooked to its unmatched fast-paced nature and depth of techniques, that their brain is superpowered and actually has a shorter attention span than the normal human, and thus they cannot play any other video game without feeling that it is the speed of a snail.
"I would play Fortnite with you, but I suffer from the Melee Effect."
"I'm starting to show some symptoms of the Melee Effect."
