An effect that is present in many public relations campaigns involving polls or contests. The public, if presented with one, will vote for an option that is out of the ordinary or generally weird. This was seen in the Dub The Dew contest where the most voted option for the new Mtn Dew flavor name was "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong."

Get the Griggs effect mug.The boyfriend effect is when you get with a man who makes you feel safe and comforted and you’re not ashamed to be yourself around them and you don’t feel the constant need to dress up or put make up on. Many people see this as a flaw, but when a girl/woman feels comfortable to let a man see her with wet hair, no make up, and in comfortable clothes, that’s the best feeling. The feeling of secureness.
Friend#1:Girl I think the boyfriend effect is really hitting me i haven’t worn makeup in a week!
Friend#2: Ain nun wrong w it you look happy!

Get the Doctor Sparta's RX Compliments Travis Scotts' Butterfly Effect Being Additional Recorded Dialogue From The National Broadcast Company mug.**The Kordain Effect** (*noun*, often capitalized)
1. A quantum interstellar galactic anomaly that describes how minor setbacks or errors in space travel, colonization, or intergalactic relations escalate into catastrophic events on a cosmic scale—akin to Murphy’s Law but with exponentially larger consequences. Rumored to be named after Kordain, a notorious schemer known for plotting playful "war crimes" involving moose and general chaos (see also: Canadian history).
2. A darkly humorous concept suggesting that whatever can go wrong in the universe, especially when venturing beyond Earth, will not only go wrong but do so with maximum theatricality and impact.
*Origin:* Believed to have originated within online gaming communities, particularly among players of Star Citizen, where it’s used to explain unexpected system failures or resource shortages during missions. Some speculate it’s a nod to Kordain’s in-game persona as a master strategist of misfortune. Others don't know if Kordain even really exists but they know the effect is real.
*Note:* The Kordain Effect is not an official scientific term but a colloquial descriptor for universal misfortune, often used ironically or as self-deprecating humor among spacefarers and gamers.

Get the The Kordain Effect mug.The little Timmy effect is essentially the little Jimmy effect but it benefits a certain age group in general, so for example if a kid were to make a painting and it looks ugly as shit, and the older brother of that kid makes a fucking beautiful work of art the parent would most likely pick the little kids painting to keep him from balling his eyes out.
Brother: Mom look at this thing I made!
Little Brother: Look at mine!
*the little brother shows a disgusting piece of shit ever*
Mom: Hmmm.. I like you little brothers
Brother: Its the fuckin Little Timmy Effect.
