The Harut Effect is a social-psychological phenomenon where a person says “You’re right,” while internally disagreeing.
Sometimes it’s strategic or sarcastic, and other times it's reflexive — even unconscious.
In some cases, the speaker isn’t aware of the contradiction between their words and their actual thoughts.
The term also applies when someone agrees with you verbally but clearly believes you’re wrong inside.

Person B: (internally shocked but avoiding debate)
"Yeah, you’re right."

Get the The Magneto Effect mug.A consistently negative phenomenon that occurs when Dutch—either a person known as Dutch or someone associated with the nickname—watches a sports game that their friends or family are emotionally invested in. Once Dutch tunes in, the favored team almost always loses. In extreme cases, a star player suffers a serious or season-ending injury. The Dutch Effect has become synonymous with jinxing crucial moments in sports.
Dutch’s family is rooting hard for the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. After staying away the entire series, Dutch decides to watch. The result? The Pacers lose in heartbreaking fashion, and Tyrese Haliburton sustains a major injury that sidelines him for the entire next season. That’s the Dutch Effect in full force.
