17 effect

The believe that something lucky/good happens for every time you see/hear/notice the number 17 in a significant place or context.
This can also be used when one is 17 years old and something especially good happens to them.

Sometimes the multiples of 17 (34,51...) can also be used in it's place.

Getting that girls number right after the goal from Kellen Moore was definitely the 17 effect!!!

Trump effect

1. (noun) The increase in racially-motivated bullying of minority students in U.S. public and private schools immediately following the election of Donald Trump as President, and attributed to Trump’s own rhetoric aimed at non-white American people, such as banning Muslim people from entering the United States, describing people of Mexican descent as violent criminals, etc. 2. (noun) The phenomenon in U.S. public and private schools of students using the name of President Trump, or one the slogans used by supporters at his rallies, such as “build the wall,” “send them back,” etc., as a taunt directed at minority students, especially at sporting events. 3. (noun) The increase in fear, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and subsequent worsening of academic performance, observed in minority students following the election of President Donald Trump, often as the result of being a victim of racially-motivated bullying (see definition 1)

But whether or not a student is a member of a targeted group, all students witnessing it in action are vulnerable to the stresses of The Trump Effect.

The Jade/Jaeid effect

This phenomenon implies the potential for a hidden or secret personality that is influenced by the presence of a middle name. It is important to note that this secret personality may or may not impact an individual's sexuality, further highlighting the complexity of this topic.

This intriguing concept bears resemblance to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a condition characterized by the presence of multiple distinct identities or personality states within an individual. While the comparison is not intended to equate the two phenomena, it underscores the idea that the existence of hidden or secret aspects of one's personality can manifest in various psychological phenomena.

Rian, with his middle name, possesses a secret personality that makes him more jolly and intellectually sharp. It's possible that this hidden persona could also impact his sexual orientation, potentially making him bisexual.
This is the Jade/Jaeid effect
