Closing effect

A slight feeling of asphyxiation as the air in the room is drawn into people's clenching bum holes.

The closing effect caused the world to hold its breath in anticipation as the votes were cast. Fear struck and bum holes winked when the realisation that what could be, could be.

Bundy Effect

The Bundy effect is a psychological and social phenomenon in which an individual’s physical attractiveness, charm, or charisma distracts others from recognizing or acknowledging their dangerous, manipulative, or criminal behavior. Named after serial killer Ted Bundy, who notoriously used his good looks and persuasive demeanor to gain the trust of his victims and manipulate public perception, the Bundy effect highlights how people may underestimate or excuse harmful actions due to superficial traits.

“Despite multiple red flags in his behavior, the Bundy Effect was in full force—everyone was too charmed by his confidence and smile to see the manipulation underneath.”

Numark Effect

The Numark effect is when a weight scale says someone is significantly more heavier than their actual weight. This effect gets it's name from a man named Numark, who is known for being fat and heavy when in reality he isn't.

I once experienced the "Numark effect" while getting my weight checked, the scale said I was 284 kg when in reality I was around 73 kg.
