It's when you see a girl or guy who you know is of legal age and they look hot, but only because they look sweet and innocent like a schoolgirl or schoolboy when in fact they are NOT, that's an effect, when they appear to be younger than they are they look hot.
I wish I could be with that girl, she looks so sweet and innocent
Dude!, she looks like she's 16
It's okay man I know that she's 21
Oh, that must be the paedophile effect everyone's talking about.

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.

When you were a little kid and you wanted to play on one of the elements of a public playground however some other kid was already using it. Therefore in order to drive the other child off of that component of the playground without outwardly saying something, you would stand there next to them and wait until they felt awkward enough to leave. After they left you could enjoy that slide or swing until someone else came along and decided to playground effect you!
We noticed that both volleyball courts were occupied, so we decided to use the playground effect so that the occupants would eventually stray away.

When waiting for something, asking about when it'll be done or finished, only increases the amount of time you must wait for it.
While asking about the playtest, the players were unaware they were making The Oki Effect creep forward slowly.

A This theoretical phenomenon happens when a superior (teacher, boss , project leader) gives you a task and once the task is completed you show said superior what you have completed. The fact that now the superior is observering causes a cosmic shit in the fabric of space and time causing the completed no matter how tested or functional it was before, it will fail in any random and unexpected way. This phenomenon has be observed by many itelectuals and has been called many things. It has even been referenced in movies and TV shows alike and is normally a source of comedy.
