Grey Lady Effect

*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*

This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.

To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.
Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.

Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

the laney young effect

Aight, so let's kick it off with this wicked tale, fam. Once upon a time, there was this soul-sucking demon named Laney Young. Now, she wasn't your regular demon, nah. She was mad into boys, but every now and then, she'd switch it up and go after women too.

Laney was notorious, man. She didn't just snatch souls, she'd take their ego, well-being, and even their dignity. Ain't nothing left when she was done.

Now, let's talk about this one dude, Travis. He was just another notch on her belt, but after one night with Laney, homie was never the same. He turned all evil, started acting possessed and stuff.

Folks started calling it the 'Laney Young effect'. It was like she left a mark on him, changed him in ways no one could understand. Travis wasn't Travis no more, he was just another victim of Laney Young.

But you know what's really twisted? Even though everyone knew what she was capable of, they still got drawn to her. Like moths to a flame, man. That's the power Laney Young had. It's a cautionary tale, for sure. Always keep your guard up, 'cause you never know when a Laney Young might cross your path.
"Bro, I've been feeling crabby as hell recently"

Halah1 effect

The "Halah1 effect" is when an annoying fat guy talks in a really fun way that gets everyone chatting. But, it's so contagious that sometimes people end up mixing up words or numbers in an annoying way, making the conversation a bit more like how an annoying fat guy talks. The Halah1 effect also describes when someone talks excessively and when we get a wrong answer on an easy question.
Annoying fat guy: Hi guys wana do dough king today on blox fruits I just got gods chalice and what’s funny is that i managed to improve my grammar. So can you guys see a difference and once we get someone online on discord we have to wait for the others!

Anonymous: Yes! Thanks for giving us like 3 sentences to read on a simple question. Also I do NOT see a difference in your grammar although you are writing fine. And yes I will do dough king with you on our favourite game And I will wait for others.

Anonymous 2: I think you’re getting the Halah1 effect. Stop talking too much. You could write less.

Vsauce effect

When a video looks like it was created recently from the viewers perspective when compared to other media of present time but was actually produced with a larger time difference between it and the present. This is usually measured in the timescale of years. This is likely due to the specific area of discussion and the videos background which is used as our point of reference for determining its spot in the past not having a time specific aspect. These time specific examples we use involve trends such as fashion in relation to clothing and furniture which change often or trends in a media context which are included in the discussion involving an event occuring is their present time. In this case also the technology in cameras plays a role as from 2010 onwards camera quality improvements are not noticeable as we have reached a quality that exceeds the human eyes image quality. All these factors result in this effect as there is no telltale signs of the vidoes released date.
Wow, this video doesn't feel 10 years old, the Vsauce effect is trippy
