The Wooshtershyre Effect

When you learn or see something new and then start seeing or hearing it everywhere

After I learnt that new word I started to hear everyone say it.

That’s The Wooshtershyre Effect.

The Mizubmi Effect

A disgrace to the world. It comes from latin, which means “hell shall be proclamed”. Some elders say that if you scream this word at 3AM looking in the mirror, she will persecute you until you go crazy and commit.

Like Vickye and Ryuko says, also known as the founders of Mizubmi: ”Damn, I think The Mizubmi Effect put a deadly curse on me.”

Sonic & Knuckles Effect

The Sonic & Knuckles Effect only happens when 2 characters are compared to each other. One character may have more careless, goofy, "radical" behavior, and the other character may have serious and focused behavior. The original form of the Sonic & Knuckles Effect was, well, Sonic & Knuckles, with Sonic being the more careless character, and Knuckles being the more serious character.

Person 1: Hey! Cmon, what are you doing here just sitting around?
Person 2: I'm trying to look after my belongings.
Person 3: It looks like you two have the Sonic & Knuckles Effect

Downhill effect

When a film contains a number of good scenes which are almost immediately followed by scenes of a far lesser quality, causing the film to slowly move downhill until there's no hope in sight. The downhill effect was made popular by Raymond Walter back in 1988 with his film "Blue Code."

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" really suffered from the downhill effect unlike the much superior film "Me and You and Everyone We Know."

pre-COVID dream effect

The effect where pre-COVID era felt like a mere dream (or a trailer for our current life), as we're now 4 years into post-COVID era (as of 2026)

Ever since the pandemic, my memories from before COVID-19 pandemic feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream; I guess I’m experiencing that pre-COVID dream effect.
