Obama effect

In politics, when people elect a new president enthusiastically expecting that he will make some major positive change, but after some time realize that things are just as they used to be. The consequence of "obama effect" is being disappointed and feeling totally politically naive.

A: Do you think that Josipovic, the newly elected Croatian president-composer, will succeed in stopping corruption?
B: No, I am afraid it will be just another Obama effect.

Shower Effect

While urinating into a lavatory, the main stream is entering as normal, but a shower like spray diverts and causes particulates of urine to land on the toilet seat. This is usually followed by a rapid wiping of the seat with toilet roll, often masked by the flushing of the toilet itself.

Omg I just shower effected all over the seat. I gotta clean up

Radu Effect

After you watch a lot of 3D images/video and your eyes get trained to this new form of media (2010) you begin to feel perspective more in your real life. Notably on highway drives with large empty farm fields along the road or when at an observation deck.

John: After watching that 3D movie everything looks like its been tilt shifted, my reality looks like a model train set now.

Kyle: It's the Radu effect dude! check it out on urban dictionary it was thought of years ago in the year (2010)

The Glover Effect

When a black man (or woman. It happens with both.) uses negative experiences with their race to justify attraction to non-blacks and/or exclusion of their own. Stereotypes are also be used for this.

"One black girl called me an oreo in high school so I now I only date Latinas"

"I don't date black guys because I'm not interested in baby mama drama"

Black Scientists: "These poor people are suffering the (ughhh ughhh) phenomena of The Glover Effect! Only extensive therapy can save them now."
