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."

The Talisman Effect

The name for the phenomenon in which if you were to bring a particular item with you somewhere, you won't end up needing it, but should you not bring it, you will need it.

"If I bring my umbrella, it probably won't rain. If I don't, it most certainly will. I guess its just the Talisman Effect at work."

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.
