This is a reference to a lemon that gets squeezed every single drop out of it aftrr which it is dumped in the trash can.
Jane got some nice clothing from Joe, a place to stay until she saved up a bit, a new phone, a new car, a great trip to Ibiza. Joe is now poor and Jane abandons him. Poor Joe just became a victim of the squeezed lemon effect.

The River Effect

When one individual within a team or group speaks first during a presentation, however during their speaking they cover all of the notes which were meant to be covered by the group as a whole. This generally renders the rest of the group in a awkward and unpleasant situation of not having any information to contribute to the discussion.
River, Dave, and Alex are all presenting a project on elephants. They have a 2 page summary of notes.
River is the first to speak, and in his brief time speaking he covers all 2 pages of notes. This leaves the rest of the group with nothing to say.

This is "The River Effect" , everyone else in the group is stuck awkwardly stumbling for things to say or contribute.

When one has been playing the best selling game for the Nintendo

Game Cube, Super Smash Bros Melee., competitively, for too long and have become so hooked to its unmatched fast-paced nature and depth of techniques, that their brain is superpowered and actually has a shorter attention span than the normal human, and thus they cannot play any other video game without feeling that it is the speed of a snail.

Fey Effect

When a comedian makes a negative political ad disguised as a comedy piece to encourage the average viewer to pay attention and be more open to receiving and considering the criticism embedded within the humor; specifically, the Fey Effect is when this bit has an important, lasting effect on real world politics.

It comes from Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, which negatively affected the public's opinion of Palin.
The Fey Effect is partly responsible for Palin's relevancy declining significantly in the past 10 years.
