aka effect

When a girl has joined a sorority and immediately starts acting as if she is better than everybody else and sort of like an asshole more than a woman of class.

I can't believe the aka effect has already gotten to Kira, she used to be so nice.

Brandon Effect

Phenomenon where the complete opposite occurs of what is promised or "expected" to happen. Often associated with but not exclusive to liberal politicians. One give away to the "Brandon Effect" is that when the unwanted results manifest it is often blamed on a foreign nation like Russia.

Though the public was promised a booming economy, the Brandon Effect left them worse off than they were 6 months earlier.

The Jj effect

The Jj effect (it will be studied for millennia) is a beautifully complex effect. An incredible outplay? The Jj effect is present. An awful int play? The Jj effect is present. A pointless solo shatter? The Jj effect is present.
No one truly knows what the Jj effect entails, and it's true meaning is yet to be discovered (hence it shall continue to be studied for millennia to come).
