The Brennan Effect

When a nigga is so deluded by the elusion of self ego, pride he begins to act unorthodoxly in a way that eludes all logical sense.

Yo, that nigga under the Brennan Effect!

pho-effect

When you’re sick with a sinus infection and eat spicy pho to clear your sinuses. As a result of your spicy-ass pho, you feel better and your face stops trying to drain all the time.

Lorraine: I’m gonna eat this pho so I can have the “pho-effect”.

John: Careful, it doesn’t last long and then your back to feeling like garbage.

Lorraine: It’s worth it

Galore Effect

The magnetic, almost inexplicable attraction people feel toward members of Galore, fueled by their aura, presence, and unshakable confidence. It’s when interest turns into infatuation simply because you’re you — a part of Galore.

She wants Ace AND Spilly ?!? Must be the galore effect.

Sassoon Effect

When you’re convinced something is real because it sounds real, but you’re not sure whether you actually remember it or your brain just made it up.

Originates from a Codenames game where a player confused Sassoon with the Streisand Effect and confidently assumed the “Sassoon Effect” was a legitimate concept. It wasn’t — and now it’s used to describe those moments when you can’t tell whether something actually exists or your brain completely fabricated it.

Was there a movie where Jim Carrey played a cowboy or am I having the Sassoon Effect?

The Woon effect

When a person who buys a stock and it goes down, or sells a stock and it goes up.

I’ve purchased a stock so the Woon Effect means the price will tank.

I’ve sold a stock so the Woon Effect means it will shoot up

The Clark Effect

When playing on Clark's account for the first time, you will always lose your first few games, no matter how well you perform.

Dang, even though Clark's account is 1600sr and I'm 3500sr, I still played like trash and lost my first 3 games. It must be the Clark Effect.

Pisani-Reade Effect

When someone or a group of people lie and make false accusations for serious crimes, including rape, pedophilia, etc in order to hide the fact that they're either doing something just as bad if not worse than the person they're accusing or trying to con people that support them in a mega grifting scheme. People that participate in such activities will also harass, guilt trip and back stab other people behind their backs while pretending to care about said person to their face. They also have a large victimization complex where they pretend that they're the victims when they get caught

Did you hear about those people that were lying and falsely accusing that kid of being a creep because of something super arbitrary and stupid?
Oh great did the Pisani-Reade effect hit the fandom?
