Nastya Effect

The sudden, borderline-irrational infatuation a man develops after meeting a captivating Ukrainian woman named Nastya (short for Anastasia). Symptoms include spontaneous generosity, excessive day-dreaming, and learning random Ukrainian phrases overnight.

More broadly, any situation in which a single encounter with someone’s charm, humor, and Slavic swagger scrambles another person’s common sense.

The Cdew Effect

Popular World of Warcraft PvP Streamer Cdewx aka *Liquid Cdew* is known for tweeting out his frustration with the popular MMO game 'World of Warcraft' and its balancing in its PvP minigame. There seems to be a common pattern with his tweets and how the developers decide to balance the game in the weeks that follow. Some call this "The Cdew Effect".
"Cdew just tweeted again man, looks like my class is getting nerfed."

"Blizzard just posted the patch notes for this week, its over... The Cdew Effect strikes again.."

Primos effect

The phenomenon where a creative work designed to represent and/or celebrate a minority is hated by said minority for being stereotypical and degrading.

This effect is named after the Disney Channel animated series "Primos", which got a great deal of backlash for containing negative stereotypes and incorrect Spanish.

The opposite is the Speedy Gonzales effect, named after Speedy Gonzales, the Looney Tunes character who is both criticized for being a Mexican stereotype, and beloved for being a heroic, quick-witted, and lovable cultural icon by Latin-Americans.
In June 2017, the city of Philadelphia adopted a Pride Flag with additional black and brown stripes on top, intended to represent people of color. However, this flag and its further redesigns gathered backlash for being uninclusive, including from LGBT people of color. This is an example of the Primos effect.

the laney young effect

Aight, so let's kick it off with this wicked tale, fam. Once upon a time, there was this soul-sucking demon named Laney Young. Now, she wasn't your regular demon, nah. She was mad into boys, but every now and then, she'd switch it up and go after women too.

Laney was notorious, man. She didn't just snatch souls, she'd take their ego, well-being, and even their dignity. Ain't nothing left when she was done.

Now, let's talk about this one dude, Travis. He was just another notch on her belt, but after one night with Laney, homie was never the same. He turned all evil, started acting possessed and stuff.

Folks started calling it the 'Laney Young effect'. It was like she left a mark on him, changed him in ways no one could understand. Travis wasn't Travis no more, he was just another victim of Laney Young.

But you know what's really twisted? Even though everyone knew what she was capable of, they still got drawn to her. Like moths to a flame, man. That's the power Laney Young had. It's a cautionary tale, for sure. Always keep your guard up, 'cause you never know when a Laney Young might cross your path.
"Bro, I've been feeling crabby as hell recently"

"Dawg that's just the Laney Young Effect."
