A psychological phenomenon where a large number of people mispronounce words they grew up pronouncing. The effect was named after Tyler Lucas, a second generation Hungarian-American. His grandfather immigrated from Hungary to the United States in the early 1930s and his surname was Americanized from Lukács to Lucas.
"Hey do you like Dr. Suess?" - Kyle
"Yeah I like Dr. Suess, did you know his last name is actually pronounced SOICE?" - Alex
"You're joking right?" - Kyle
"You're as wrong as the deuce / And you shouldn't rejoice / If you're calling him Suess/ He pronounces it Soice." - Alex
"Okay, I buy it. What do you call the phenomenon where you grow up pronouncing words incorrectly?" - Kyle
"It's called the Lewcatch Effect. Named after the future 48th President of the United States." - Alex
"The future is now!" - Kyle

When a struggling sports team fires their coach, and a new coach comes in and the team initially does really well.
Everyone is all smiles, the new coach tries new things, is fun and upbeat, and seemingly *changes the culture* so the team performs really well.....until they don't.
The few good games are due to excitement, and once the substitute teacher has to be a real teacher, fails spectacularly because he actually has to teach.

Boris: Oh fuck, you see how the new coach has turned this team around. I told you the old guy sucked.
Edgar: Meh, it is the Substitute Teacher Effect, come back to me in 3 months. Team is just playing well. New guy can't coach.
3 months later.....
Edgar: Team sucks, and coach looks really constipated.
Boris: Ya, you were right. Substitute Teacher Effect wins again.

When you’re charged more for home repairs or anything when someone sees that you have columns on your house.
When the contractor gave us an estimate for a job, it was 20% more just because of the column effect.

A phenomenon where anything created by the internet, will be destroyed by the internet, usually in the matter of days.
“Hey did you hear about (insert popular online event/trend/game)?”
“Yeah, but more and more people started joining in on it and they ruined it. It’s always a recurring Midas Touch Effect whenever the internet gets a hold of something precious.”
