The Luke Boyd Effect

In a sense, the Luke Boyd Effect is where you tell all your friends that you have a huge inheritance and lifetime football tickets, and lure friendships in over matierialistic values.

Wow he’s such a douchebag, must be the Luke Boyd 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.”
