The Nelson Effect

A recent gaming terminology where the player is on a current luck streak when all of a sudden their gaming prowess deteriorates by a factor of *10 for no discernible reason.

I was almost on a 20 kill, kill streak on CoD MW2 until I was hit by the nelson effect.

the orgy effect

The instance in which a handful of people - who individually are all very cool and attractive - get together and ultimately try to fornicate. The drama that ensues destroys the bonds of their friendships and even the bonds with those not involved. Their group can be considered cancerous.

Dave is a cool guy and all, but his group suffers the orgy effect.

Colyne Effect

When a guy is attracted to several girls but he isn't sure which one is the right one to be with. The girls like him in varying degrees but they are all attracted to him. It's a double-edged sword and a struggle for everyone involved.

Eren : You see Armin with his new girl?
Mikasa : Yea, it's the Colyne Effect. That's the fifth girl he's started talking to.

The Urban Name Effect

The strange experience of finding your relatively uncommon name in the Urban Dictionary with a very specific definition that seems to relate to your life. A modern-day horoscope of sorts, finding your name on Urban Dictionary and thinking "haha yeah that's me," then considering if the entry could have actually been made for you. A form of cognitive bias in the digital age... or is it?

Alano: Hey, look at this entry in the Urban Dictionary. I wonder if it's actually about me!
Friend: No way, there are probably tons of other Alanos. You're just getting hit by The Urban Name Effect.
Alano: I can't believe my name's also used as a euphemism for Alcoholics Anonymous, damn it.
