The Clark Effect

When playing on Clark's account for the first time, you will always lose the first few games and perform horribly no matter how skilled you are.

Dang, I hopped on Clark's account and even though he's 1600sr and I'm 3500sr, I still got rolled by some Silvers. It must be the Clark Effect.

Doppler-effect horn-blowing

Da annoying dual-pitch "Beeeeeee-yuhhhhhhhh!" dat you hear when some dumba** motorist roars past you while engaging in an "extended honk". Okay, okay --- so maybe he's "just trying to be friendly" by saying hello to a familiar face by the roadside (you), but as gas-station attendant Dale says in the Red Green Show episode, "Hurricane Doug", it's far more cheerful/polite and less startling/grating on the eardrums to just briefly "tap the hooter" a couple times as you go by.

And incident of Doppler-effect horn-blowing can be even more annoying and emotionally draining (i.e., it can become a Droppler effect sometimes) if you either (1) do not recognize whoever it was who honked at you, and so you are left to wonder "who that might have been" and/or if he possibly mistook you for someone else while your back was turned, or (2) don't have a clue as to the driver's reason for honking at you, and so you are left to wonder what you might have been doing that caused him to either notice or be upset with you. Plus of course if there are one or more other people in your immediate vicinity at the time, you may even be unsure if said extended honk was actually "untended for you", or if the driver was noisily "addressing" someone else nearby --- or all of you in general --- instead of you personally.

Emergency Date Effect

The Emergency Date Effect, or EDE for short, is defined as the moment when a person in a school or similar institute has no date for a social event, such as Prom or Homecoming, so asks out someone who is of a lower social standing of theirs or who they know already has some form a crush on them as an insurance policy.

Guy 1: “Hey, did you hear Tom managed to get a date with Maria?”
Guy 2: “Yeah, but I heard she had no other options. They’re only going out because of the Emergency Date Effect”

The Kalian Effect

When you look at someone who isn't looking at you, and you look away right as they look at you, and you have to do an awkward looking back to make eye contact so you don't look like a stalker.

Athaniel: Looking at AJ's body whilst he is not looking.
AJ turns to make eye contact while Athaniel is looking away, then turns again to look into the eyes of AJ.
AJ: You just did the Kalian Effect, but it's still creepy.
