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.

Get the The River Effect mug.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.

Get the Jangrow Effect mug.The feeling that an action or object is more special/virtuous/valuable if it was performed or acquired while riding/driving in a KIA automobile.
"KIA --- the power to surprise." If you actually believe in the IKIA effect, you will certainly experience some "surprise", all right --- anything that happens while being transported by a KIA vehicle probably will not actually be any more amazing or notable than if it occurred in any other common brand of car.

Get the Rin-effect mug.An ironic occurrence when two situations happen either at the same time, or different times. When the blamed or the two people responsible (One at occurrence 1, one at occurrence 2) give strange but similar response or backup story. One will be lying and one will actually be telling the truth.
One person would accidentally break a peice of equipment, and the other person was accused of stealing something. Both of the people accused know nothing about the other or seen each other, but the person blaming both of them know them a certain way. Both of them give the same statement.
"I did not do it, I wouldn't have anything to do with it, why think I do such a thing?"
One is lying, one is innocent. Stillusion Effect was occurring.
