The Raiden Effect

When a game creator takes a character they made super bitchy in their first appearance, and tries to make them super bad-ass for later appearances, but over-does it so much that they still seem super bitchy, just also over-powered. The original "Raiden Effect" of course being 'Raiden'c from MGS2, later to appear in MGS4 as a super bad-ass cyborg thing.

"Man, remember when Riku was a bitch in the first Kingdom Hearts game? He's got 'Raiden Effect' up the ass now." "Man, they took a weak whiny kid and made him the main character... The Raiden Effect strikes again."

fox effect

Turns you into a flaming liberal.

Watching Fox TV with my dad for the day had the fox effect on me. I have always considered myself slightly conservative but after the fox effect took hold I am practically a commie.,

Westermarck effect

The Westermarck effect, or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction.

The professor says the Westermarck effect is why incest is taboo.

Mendela Effect

Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details. However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.

This isn’t a conspiracy, and we’re not talking about “false memories.” Many of us speculate that parallel realities exist, and we’ve been “sliding” between them without realizing it.

OMG You remember that too that's probably just the mendela effect

Placebeau Effect

Occurs when a girl thinks she has found a man that will make all her dreams come true. It doesn't matter about reality--because she views him as her 'beau'--she becomes oblivious to his shortcomings and is totally enamored with the smallest of things. Even a one-word text message becomes loaded with meaning for her.

(Girl looks at her phone and smiles, all dreamy-eyed)

Roommate: what's up? You look tooooo happy...

Girl: oh nothing, I just got the sweetest text from Cedric!

Roommate: (cynically) Really! What pearl of wonderfulness did he say, if you don't mind my asking..

Girl: (with stars in her eyes) he said "Sup!"

Roommate: (muttering quietly) It's the friggin' placebeau effect at work again...
