The daylight effect

When working third shift, while it's dark outside you are tired and fatigued either due to lack of sleep, or exhaustion but when morning light appears (daylight) You are suddenly full of energy and awake like you haven't worked 12 hours shift

Me: "dude, I'm so eepy but I can't eep because of the stupid daylight effect
Them: What's the daylight effect?

Me: oh it's where I can't sleep because my brain thinks that the sun being out means my day is just starting when it's supposed to be ending

The Hbox Effect

When you do really well at something in practice (like beating top players in Super Smash Bros. Melee), but fail to do it when it matters the most (like when you finally fight that top player in bracket)

Meleegamer123: "I beat Hungrybox on slippi! I'm so good at melee"
Meleegamer456: "No you aren't dude, that's just The Hbox Effect"

soap opera effect

A term used to describe the hyper-realistic look of video content that can occur due to high frame rates or certain video processing settings, making everything appear overly smooth and artificial—similar to the visual style of daytime soap operas. This effect can detract from the intended cinematic experience.

I recently picked up all five seasons of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray. It had been remastered in HD producing a crystal clear and perfect picture, but it was too clean. It was noticeable the show was filmed on a set and at times gave a 'soap opera effect'.

The name of the pro soccer team in salt lake city has a purr-effect like name.. comes accross like a strange silent vigil or tribute because of the awkward style of name with a purpose to resemble a initial sequence of symbology? RSL?
