The Nelson Effect

A recent gaming terminology where the player is on a current luck streak when all of a sudden their gaming prowess deteriorates by a factor of *10 for no discernible reason.

I was almost on a 20 kill, kill streak on CoD MW2 until I was hit by the nelson effect.

The Ono Effect

you can be nice and friendly all you want. theres always going to be some to whom you are the asian bitch that stole one of ours. whether vocab slurs like "asian bitch", "steal" or "ours" are wrong and hurtful or not.

Samira did not see it coming. The Ono Effect had her caught in hostile categories she was aware of but did not believe in. Unfair. 💧

quarantine effect

Doing something dumb and blaming it on isolation from COVID-19.

I almost gave myself bangs when I woke up because of the quarantine effect.

I just ran 4 miles and oddly didn't feel thirsty because of the quarantine effect.

I just deep cleaned my whole house and then made myself Ramen because of the quarantine effect.
