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

The Ketchup Effect

The Ketchup Effect is used as a saying when you squeeze the ketchup bottle but can't get anything out, but all of a sudden your whole meat gets soaked in ketchup. It can also be used in other situations.

Dad: So how did the game go last night coach?
Coach: We kept on puching for the whole first quarter, but couldn't get anything to drop, but then in the second quarter we scored on every single play!
Dad: Wow, must have been the ketchup effect.

Mirage Effect

The Mirage Effect occurs when you see a female with a Phat ass and the ass alone makes you think that the female is attractive but she is actually not.

Damon: Wow that girl has a phat ass and is hot too!
Matthew: Dude, she isn't even hot, it's just the Mirage Effect taking place.
