the orgy effect

The instance in which a handful of people - who individually are all very cool and attractive - get together and ultimately try to fornicate. The drama that ensues destroys the bonds of their friendships and even the bonds with those not involved. Their group can be considered cancerous.

Dave is a cool guy and all, but his group suffers the orgy effect.

Colyne Effect

When a guy is attracted to several girls but he isn't sure which one is the right one to be with. The girls like him in varying degrees but they are all attracted to him. It's a double-edged sword and a struggle for everyone involved.

Eren : You see Armin with his new girl?
Mikasa : Yea, it's the Colyne Effect. That's the fifth girl he's started talking to.

Windows 10 Effect

When someone uses a garbage operating system for so long that they get used to its crap factor and consider it good.

Guy: I'll never upgrade to Windows 11, Windows 10 is way better!
Doctor: You seem to be under the influence of the Windows 10 Effect, Windows 11 is the same shit. I'd recommend switching to Linux or macOS for a change.

Fosca effect

In the novel of Simone de Beauvoir, Fosca is a man who is the only one who cannot die. However, he becomes unhappy because all his friends die and leave him. The Fosca effect is therefore the feeling of an old person when he or she outlives their friends and the other people around them also disappear. It is a mixture of melancholy, pride and the guilt of still being alive.

Why is your father so sad? It's the Fosca effect, another one of his school friends has died.

I really must write my memoirs. It's probably the Fosca effect: if I don't do it, who else will?
The Fosca effect is quite natural when you get very old.
