Bloomberg effect

Named after Walter Bloomberg, a person on X/Twitter who tweeted false information on trump’s pause on tariffs. An effect that happens when the market briefly spikes after investors hear false information about something.

The first instance of the Bloomberg effect happened on April 7th, 2025 when an account by the name of “Walter Bloomberg” tweeted unverified information that trump would put a 90 day pause on tariffs with the exception of china. This caused Dow, NASDAQ, &, S&P 500’s stocks to briefly spikes after investors heard the news.

"Anne of Cleves"-Effect

The "Anne of Cleves"-Effect describes a situation in which a girl or guy does not look as good in real life as they do on a picture/ look much better on a picture than in real life. It gets it's name after Henry VIII married Anne of Cleves and tried to get into her knockers after seeing a painting of her by an artist who seemed to have 4/20 vision and a massive bag of gold coins in return for drawing her like one of those french girls.

#1: So? How was the tinder date?
#2: Ugh. She looked nothing like she did in the profile pic.
#1: "Anne of Cleves"-Effect?
#2: Anne of Cleves Effect.

The Lore effect

The effect of you befriending someone over a fandom and becoming extremely close with them, then watching them move on onto different things and them ingoring you as they get new friends, this also can go with relationships. You think you really know this person (and you probably do) but then all that happens and it hurts.

“Man, this has happened to me so many times already, I really hate the Lore effect.”

the connex effect

n: what you experience when you travel in Melbourne's public transport rail system. Delayed trains, dirty seats, violent ticket inspectors, passengers squashed in like sardines.

If in a crowded train and another passenger falls on you the violent movements of the carraige. Do not let them apologise; blame the connex effect!
