Delphine Effect

A surrealist feeling of profound and utter confusion that roots in the inhabitude of seeing someone or something in a certain setting.

After buying a dog, I experienced the Delphine Effect and, therefore, gave it back.

Apex effect

When playing fill in apex legends you get so angry at your slow or special teammates you project your anger onto someone else who isn't involved in the game.

Sorry I called your cat fat, I was suffering from the Apex effect.

The Gandhi Effect

If you're idolized enough, people will ignore all the horrible things you've done in your life. Being deceased is optional, although it has been proven to make the effect more...effective.

The Gandhi Effect is named for Mahatma Gandhi, who is often worshipped as a hero around the world, despite the fact that he was a serial rapist.

Lafazan Effect

When protections for protected classes, including historically discriminated communities, are afforded to historically privileged groups. For instance, Blacks are prosecuted more often for hate crimes than are Whites, when Blacks were intended to be protected against hate crimes. Background: New York Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan introduced a bill that identifies county police as a protected class. Such a bill will have the effect of prosecuting those demanding reforms and changes in a historically biased police force.

Looks like Terryl is getting prosecuted for hate crimes because he called his attacker "white" while defending himself - he's getting the full Lafazan Effect.

the westrick effect

When a person has a very quick and rapid decline mentally in front of several people, tarnishing their reputation significantly. This is usually due to (but not limited to) the influence of a female.
