Fey Effect

When a comedian makes a negative political ad disguised as a comedy piece to encourage the average viewer to pay attention and be more open to receiving and considering the criticism embedded within the humor; specifically, the Fey Effect is when this bit has an important, lasting effect on real world politics.

It comes from Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, which negatively affected the public's opinion of Palin.

The Fey Effect is partly responsible for Palin's relevancy declining significantly in the past 10 years.

The Conner Effect

The Connor Effect is when an act is put up in order to seem cool but is later found out that the person is awkward and only a pick-me.

I can't believe Jace turned out to be a poser. But, I guess he fell for The Conner Effect.

Rake Effect

When a man's urine exits the penis in several different directions instead of one solid stream. Usually occurring after ejaculation, it often creates an unwelcomed mess on the toilet seat, floor, and sometimes pants.

Hey man sorry about getting piss all over the floor! I had a bad case of rake effect.

Nicholson Effect

The feeling of unspecified love when a person is outside their everyday living environment (City/Town/Village). Usually confused with sexual urges. Often leads to people cheating while away from their families. On the other hand it can bring romantic partners closer to each other. Or it can just manifest as a deeper appreciation for a different city.

It wasn't the Nicholson effect that conditioned me to fall in love with that person while on vacation. It was the person themselves.
