Get the Posse Effectmug. A consistently negative phenomenon that occurs when Dutch—either a person known as Dutch or someone associated with the nickname—watches a sports game that their friends or family are emotionally invested in. Once Dutch tunes in, the favored team almost always loses. In extreme cases, a star player suffers a serious or season-ending injury. The Dutch Effect has become synonymous with jinxing crucial moments in sports.
Dutch’s family is rooting hard for the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. After staying away the entire series, Dutch decides to watch. The result? The Pacers lose in heartbreaking fashion, and Tyrese Haliburton sustains a major injury that sidelines him for the entire next season. That’s the Dutch Effect in full force.

The little Timmy effect is essentially the little Jimmy effect but it benefits a certain age group in general, so for example if a kid were to make a painting and it looks ugly as shit, and the older brother of that kid makes a fucking beautiful work of art the parent would most likely pick the little kids painting to keep him from balling his eyes out.
Brother: Mom look at this thing I made!
Little Brother: Look at mine!
*the little brother shows a disgusting piece of shit ever*
Mom: Hmmm.. I like you little brothers
Brother: Its the fuckin Little Timmy Effect.
