The Pyro Effect

Also called the 'Domino'-effect. Originates from the famous historian Lord Pyro the 42nd. He would have one of his frequently-seen periods of rage, and this feeling would stick to others. Happened a lot during wars and outings. He would later assault his team-mates, with only one type of weapon, which has spawned the term "One-item".

Kangaroo Effect

A social phenomenon where individuals or groups expend more effort and resources when progressing slowly towards a goal, as opposed to when moving swiftly and decisively. This mirrors the biological quirk of kangaroos, who use more energy to move slowly than they do at higher speeds due to their unique muscular and tendon structure.
The team experienced the Kangaroo Effect while working on the project; they were burning out during the planning phase, but once they started executing their tasks, they progressed much more efficiently.

The Schoomp Effect

The sound of men's eyes when they swivel in their sockets to look at a woman's bountiful bosom. That woman is said to have "the schoomp effect".

Unfortunate side-affects include:
- men gawking at you all night
- getting hit on constantly
- murderous stares from the women who are trying to get their boyfriend's or a hot guy's attention
A hot chick walks into the bar and every single man turns to stare at her boobs instantaneously, unable to help themselves.

The other women in the bar realise that the hot chick obvioiusly possesses the schoomp effect

Cooper: Vodka and Gatorade again?
