The Syndo-Mathian Effect

When you trick someone into believing something that isn’t true, typically under the guise of having scientific or research-based proof. Often for humorous intent
Daniel: You know how you’ll learn about a song, and then you start hearing it everywhere?

Bill: Ah yes, I believe that’s called Wesolowski’s principle

*later*

Daniel: Hey man, I looked up that thing you said, andI can’t find it anywhere!

Bill: *chuckle* My friend, you’ve fallen victim to the Syndo-Mathian effect

FaZe effect

A phenomenon observable in most online video games with competitive matchmaking and ranks, in which random players tend to be far more abrasive and uncooperative than those you meet in casual drop-in games or community servers, even ones hosting games in competitive format. This is counter-intuitive to the assumption that less mature players will be deterred by the stiff penalties for ruining matches, which turns out to grossly underestimate how consciously dedicated some people are to being awful.

There are a variety of reasons for this, not least of which is because clueless kids think they're going to be MLG esports pros and thus blame anything that goes wrong on you, regardless of how well anyone is actually doing, and frequently ragequit, leaving you unable to pick up the match. In higher ranks and tiers, it is common for players to not care about playing because they think too highly of themselves, while many players in lower ranks are using smurf accounts so they can grief newer players trying to git gud.

Named after FaZe Clan, a (real) professional esports team that many of the aforementioned clueless kids like to reference in their screen names.
Joe was warming up for a round of competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by dicking around in some servers with custom game modes. He was having more fun here than he thought he would playing silly mini-games, but he was dragged away by his two friends only to end up in a lobby with a temperamental fourteen year old boy and someone with racial epithets in his name using micspam to blare references to stale Internet memes. The FaZe effect strikes again.

blista effect

The effect when something looks really modest and is cheap or widespread, but in reality performs better than mor eexpensive counterparts. Coined after the famous Blista Compact car in GTA game series, that became widely known in the gaming community for looking really cheap and appearing everywhere on the map, but turning out to be one of the best car in-game, with incredible handling and speed-to-acceleration ratio.
It's also true with people who look shy but turn out awesome when you get a chance to know them better.
-I had a blista effect visiting these cheap Decathlon stores - the things perform much better than you would expect from something that cheep and looking so... cheap.

-Anna felt a blista effect after talking to Josh - he looked homely, but turned out to be an awesome guy.

Butterfly Effect

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
Nick: Teach me the butterfly effect.
Ray: Love is a prime example of the butterfly effect. The insignificant action of the past can have a surmountable impact today, creating an incredible bond between 2 friends. Love you buddy.
