This is a chain-reaction of thot/hoe personalities and actions spreading to more people from one person. If someone is a thot /hoe they might start the Lopez Effect which will end up with a greater thot/hoe population. The Lopez Effect was named by Marshall Lopez who studied females put into different scenarios, and each female was different when it came to personalities. His experiment started with one thot/hoe and six other girls, but by the end of week six of the seven became thots/hoes. The science behind it is that the drama a thot/hoe will deal with will spread onto others which makes them a thot/hoe over time. Popular areas of the Lopez Effect are high schools, colleges/universities, modeling, celebrities, and lesbian sex.
Cole: Yo, you know that girl Angelina?
James: Yeah, what about her?

James: U right bih
James: Yeah, what about her?

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.

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.

While urinating into a lavatory, the main stream is entering as normal, but a shower like spray diverts and causes particulates of urine to land on the toilet seat. This is usually followed by a rapid wiping of the seat with toilet roll, often masked by the flushing of the toilet itself.

The process of making fun of somebody so much that you can't look at them without bursting out in laughter.
Person1: "I can't look at Andy any more without laughing."
person2: "You must be suffering from the Musleh effect."
