Barista Effect

The well known practice of men being kind to a cute stranger because they don't want to destroy their chances to fuck her in the far distant future, no matter how remote the possibility.

Jack always tipped Jill extra at Starbucks due to the Barista Effect.

Oswego Effect

The strange feeling SUNY Oswego students get after they leave college, when you miss the lake, the sunsets, and even the freezing wind you used to complain about.

It’s that mix of missing your friends, the campus, and the small-town life that somehow felt like home. The Oswego Effect hits when you realize you didn’t just go to school there, a part of you still lives there.

Ever since graduation, I’ve been missing Oswego like crazy. I think the Oswego Effect just kicked in.
