Hammock Effect

When you listen to a full album of the musician Hammock, your mind transcend your flesh body to elevate itself to a new state of mind where you discover what are the keys to life.

Max : "Why did you quit your job to wander for 3 months in the cold winter of Alaska, on your own ?"

The Urban Name Effect

The strange experience of finding your relatively uncommon name in the Urban Dictionary with a very specific definition that seems to relate to your life. A modern-day horoscope of sorts, finding your name on Urban Dictionary and thinking "haha yeah that's me," then considering if the entry could have actually been made for you. A form of cognitive bias in the digital age... or is it?

Alano: Hey, look at this entry in the Urban Dictionary. I wonder if it's actually about me!
Friend: No way, there are probably tons of other Alanos. You're just getting hit by The Urban Name Effect.
Alano: I can't believe my name's also used as a euphemism for Alcoholics Anonymous, damn it.

The Germ Effect

When trying to call attention to the flaws of an opponent only to have your own flaws "outed" as a result of personal digging. Similar to the Streisand Effect in the legal community, the Germ Effect calls attention to yourself in an unwanted and unanticipated fashion. The phrase is derived from the great "2011 Yahoo Fantasy Football thread between 'Coach Germ' and 'Teddy Ruxpin.'"

Coach Germ tried to give me shit me for my 17th round pick, but upon taking a look at his team, his antics had "The Germ Effect" when it was discovered that he has 3 #4 wide receivers and 3 running backs who are time-shares.
