The Labana Effect

The effect of a negative teaching output displayed upon a student. Usually the student has learned absolutely nothing on a subject and is, for the most part, doomed for the exam.

The teacher has failed to prepare their class for the final exam through poorly taught lessons and leaving the class on cliffhangers on a daily basis. The teacher may or may not have an accent, which could further decrease your knowledge of the course. The teacher may also fail themselves, being unprepared for class and unknowing of the lessons they teach and questions they assign.

If you as a student has experienced any of these symptoms, then you have undergone "The Labana Effect"

Borrowed from "The Coriolis Effect" and/or "The Albedo Effect"

Person 1: Yo I'm so screwed for the exam...
Person 2: Yeah well, that's the Labana Effect

The Domino's Effect

A phenomenon in which an individual consumes a large portion of fast food, and subsequently has to shit only 10 minutes later. The Domino's Effect defy's all that is known about the digestive system. This commonly occurs after eating food from a Domino's pizzeria, but may also occur with other places such as Taco Bell.

Man 1: Oh my god. I literally finished eating my cheesy bread 5 minutes ago, but already need to take a dump.

Man 2: Yet another tragic, yet mystifying case of The Domino's Effect.

Craigslist Penis Effect

Personal success philosophy based on the observations that

a) any g-rated women-seeking-men Craigslist ad will be met with dozens and dozens of e-mails that are just penis pics, and

b) a "real" email will automatically be better received than the penises.

The wisdom of observation is that a little effort will automatically put you ahead of all the idiots. From personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi.

According to the Craigslist Penis Effect, wearing khakis, not sweatpants, to the fleamarket will make you super stylish by comparison.
