Drey-Effect

That feeling you get from experiencing infatuation or having a crush. It's a mix of excitement, nervousness, and anticipation triggered by the attention or communication from someone you're interested in. The butterflies in your stomach are a physical manifestation of the emotional excitement you're feeling. This reaction is common when you're attracted to someone, and it's a result of the release of adrenaline and other hormones in response to the emotional stimulation. Enjoying these moments can be a delightful part of the early stages of romantic attraction.
The "Drey-Effect" was triggered the moment Audrey saw Tim sitting behind her.
The moment I received the earlier morning text from Dela, the butterflies in my tummy began jubilating, and I couldn't stop smiling.

The Boogie Effect

The Boogie Effect is a state of mind a player of a video game enters in which they entirely fail to and cease attempting to communicate with their teammates and attempt to handle the threat entirely on their own - whether by choice or natural instinct.

John Peel effect

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.

The Jerry Effect

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
