The Kris-Ted Effect

When two handsome, polite guys go out for a nice time, and rather than objectify women and demonstrate toxic masculinity to the entire bar, they make friends and get free drinks.

I had such a great time at Mario’s, and because of the Kris-Ted effect, I didn’t spend a dollar!

Flander Effect

The phenomenon wherein a storyteller slightly exaggerates small details of a story every time it is retold to the point where an interesting story becomes outrageously unbelievable.

Storyteller: So now we're flying around the turn at 120 MPH...
Listener 1: Hold on, last time you said you were going 110 MPH, and the time before that 100 MPH...
Listener 2: Sounds like your story has been corrupted by the Flander Effect.

Ovsiankina effect

In psychology, the Ovsiankina effect describes the innate human urge to finish tasks previously initiated. This tendency to resume an interrupted action is especially prevalent when the action hasn't yet been achieved. The effect is named after Maria Ovsiankina, who conducted research on this behavior.

I couldn't focus on my new project because every time I got interrupted, I felt this strong Ovsiankina effect pulling me back to finish what I had started yesterday.
