livermore effect

It is an educational process that occurs when a patient realizes that their health provider is so incompetent or unhelpful, that they are forced to find ways to heal their self.

Due to mistakes and high costs, our current healthcare system has caused many people to fall victim to the Livermore effect.

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."

It's when you see a girl or guy who you know is of legal age and they look hot, but only because they look sweet and innocent like a schoolgirl or schoolboy when in fact they are NOT, that's an effect, when they appear to be younger than they are they look hot.

I wish I could be with that girl, she looks so sweet and innocent
Dude!, she looks like she's 16
It's okay man I know that she's 21
Oh, that must be the paedophile effect everyone's talking about.

The Playground Effect

When you were a little kid and you wanted to play on one of the elements of a public playground however some other kid was already using it. Therefore in order to drive the other child off of that component of the playground without outwardly saying something, you would stand there next to them and wait until they felt awkward enough to leave. After they left you could enjoy that slide or swing until someone else came along and decided to playground effect you!

We noticed that both volleyball courts were occupied, so we decided to use the playground effect so that the occupants would eventually stray away.
