Da annoying dual-pitch "Beeeeeee-yuhhhhhhhh!" dat you hear when some dumba** motorist roars past you while engaging in an "extended honk". Okay, okay --- so maybe he's "just trying to be friendly" by saying hello to a familiar face by the roadside (you), but as gas-station attendant Dale says in the Red Green Show episode, "Hurricane Doug", it's far more cheerful/polite and less startling/grating on the eardrums to just briefly "tap the hooter" a couple times as you go by.
And incident of Doppler-effect horn-blowing can be even more annoying and emotionally draining (i.e., it can become a Droppler effect sometimes) if you either (1) do not recognize whoever it was who honked at you, and so you are left to wonder "who that might have been" and/or if he possibly mistook you for someone else while your back was turned, or (2) don't have a clue as to the driver's reason for honking at you, and so you are left to wonder what you might have been doing that caused him to either notice or be upset with you. Plus of course if there are one or more other people in your immediate vicinity at the time, you may even be unsure if said extended honk was actually "untended for you", or if the driver was noisily "addressing" someone else nearby --- or all of you in general --- instead of you personally.

The phenomenon where an individual’s natural charm, charisma, and radiant energy irresistibly draw people in, creating widespread admiration, loyalty, and even devotion. Those under the Jacques Effect often form fanbases, friendships, or followings without the person even trying.
We planned a quiet party, but once Maya walked in, the Jacques Effect took over and it turned into a full-on rager.

It's a type of a behavior of an offended person. Right after you say something offensive (racist, homophobic, chauvinistic, sexistic, xenophobic, etc.) and they give u that juicy "death stare" which fullfills you with some kind of evil happiness.
You: "The name of this Vúsch effect sounds really gay."
Friend: "Stares at you deadly while he/she is torturing you with the most sharp and rusty tools in his/her mind."
You: "MUEHEHEHEHEHE" (In your head.. or maybe out loud)

The feeling that an action or object is more special/virtuous/valuable if it was performed or acquired while riding/driving in a KIA automobile.
"KIA --- the power to surprise." If you actually believe in the IKIA effect, you will certainly experience some "surprise", all right --- anything that happens while being transported by a KIA vehicle probably will not actually be any more amazing or notable than if it occurred in any other common brand of car.
