Get the The "Mallows Effect" mug.A conceptual process in which an individual, institution, or system rapidly descends from a state of peak performance or prestige into a significantly diminished or unstable state. It implies a collapse not caused by gradual decline, but by a sharp tipping point—often due to overreach, hubris, or external shock.
Arz was ranked 3rd—until he started duoing with Kafi. Within days, he tumbled to 19th, a brutal showcase of the Kafi Effect in action.

Get the Kafi Effect mug.When members of the public excuse a celebrity's crimes or immoral behaviour because they are huge fans of that celebrity, yet criticise someone else for doing exactly the same thing.
It is named after the British disc jockey, John Peel, who admitted to having sex with underage children, and who, after his death, turned out to have got a fifteen year old pregnant, and who started dating two of his wives when they were just fifteen years old. If John Peel had lived longer, he would have gone to prison, but because people like how he was a disc jockey who played interesting music, they overlook that, and there is even a stage at Glastonbury named after him. Conversely, the same people will criticise less appealing celebrities who did less bad things.

People hate Woody Allen, but love Prince who did exactly the same thing and even had a child with his adopted daughter. That's just the John Peel effect.
Sean Connery admitted that he often slapped women around the face to put them in their place, but people cried when he died - that's the John Peel effect.
There's a real John Peel effect going on with David Bowie - he's worse than Rolf Harris, but everyone still loves him.

Get the John Peel effect mug.The Jerry Effect occurs in the fantasy football league "Get the Belt or Go Home" and ONLY applies to the user Justin and his teams DaBears, Racing With Ruggs, and Waiver Wire Boys. The Jerry Effect is when the user Jerry is out of the league, Justin is winning championships. However, when Jerry is in the league, Justin is not even making the playoffs, and is most likely in last place. This is because the rivaly between Jerry clouds Justin's mind and leads to him making bad moves in fantasy football in order to compete with Jerry. (The Jerry Effect has nothing to do with Jerry winning or losing games)
Justin was the fantasy football champion 🏆 before Jerry joined the league. However now that Jerry is in the league, Justin cannot even make the playoffs. The Jerry Effect
