The Schoomp Effect

The sound of men's eyes when they swivel in their sockets to look at a woman's bountiful bosom. That woman is said to have "the schoomp effect".

Unfortunate side-affects include:
- men gawking at you all night
- getting hit on constantly
- murderous stares from the women who are trying to get their boyfriend's or a hot guy's attention
A hot chick walks into the bar and every single man turns to stare at her boobs instantaneously, unable to help themselves.

The other women in the bar realise that the hot chick obvioiusly possesses the schoomp effect

The Spring Break Effect

(n.) an unspecified period of time before spring break during which a student (or faculty member) loses the ability to accurately perceive the passage of time.

Dr. Richard Block identified a framework of four interrelated factors that affect this perception: (1) characteristics of the time experiencer, (2) time-related behaviors and judgments, (3) contents of a time period, and (4) activities during a time period.

The Spring Break Effect will cause noticeable changes in everyday life. For example, students will likely experience feelings of acedia (mental sloth, apathy, indifference, boredom) or exhaustion caused by sleep deprivation. Days will run together to the point where they are distinguished only by the assignments or exams scheduled. Most of an individual's "productive" time will be spent on academic tasks that will range between mindless and tedious. (If a suffer is subjected to these conditions for extended periods of time, particularly when tasks are mindlessly tedious, it is recommended that they consult a mental health professional.) Finally, those affected will spend increased and possibly unhealthy amounts of time on social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, if the subject is female).
Person A: "How is it only Tuesday?"

Person C: "Dude, you're experiencing the Spring Break Effect."
Person A: "Is that fatal?"
Person C: "No, but staying awake for 72 hours might."
Person B: "Shit."

island effect

An effect that happens to men in regards to only seeing ugly women for an extended period of time, in which they begin to see ugly women as attractive.

This consistently happens to men who work too much, and dont go out often. Especially in low paying, night shift jobs.

Its called the island effect because one is isolated from the attractive, outside world.

Duderbroseph: i dunno, like a month?

Sane: Island effect.

Duderbroseph: Shit...

The Soulmate Effect

No matter how dismal or down you are you talk to this one person and they either make you feel better or stand right next to you until you are through your struggle.
I couldn't have made it through that awkward week with that weird theater carny caravan without that counter balance of The Soulmate Effect over the phone.
