The Quote Effect

When you post something on Twitter and someone quotes you, you reply with something that makes you look even stupider than what the original post said.

Zak quoted Andres on why he thinks Chrollo is mid, so Andres replied and made himself even more of an embarrassment. Andres experienced The Quote Effect.

Obi wan effect

The instance of saying some words of wisdom to a person well before that person needs to use it, and when used makes a dramatic difference. Could be seconds could be years but will be needed.
Typically used in the student-teacher relationship.
Ex in movie: Use the force.
Ex in school: Take notes
Ex at work: take time to do it the right way

I wouldn't have got through college without the Obi wan effect.

out-house caffeine effect

The phenomenon where coffee drinks ordered whilst eating out, have more caffeine* — to the point that their caffeine content is as kicking as that of Tombocantuxin caffeine pills

*compared to coffee drinks (of same serving size) served at homes

After downing that ice cappucino at the café, I felt the "out-house caffeine effect" kick in—way stronger than my usual brew at home.
