The Macarena Effect

When nobody knows the actual lyrics to a song, and they only like it because it sounds cool.

The Macarena Effect is, of course, named after the song of the same name. Most people only know two of the words in the entire song.

Blue Ball Effect

When life teases you by getting your hopes up with something great, only to leave you hanging in the end.

Yo dude, I was about to nail that TikTok dance challenge, had my moves down and everything, but then my phone died mid-recording. That's the blue ball effect man.

The Arkham effect

When a fandom of a game, show or other form of media is left without content for a substantial amount of time the fanbase will start going through a period of insanity where they make memes and jokes that would not make any sense to a mentally sane person

Wow none of these memes make any sense they aren't even talking about the show

that's the arkham effect for you

Downing-Kruger Effect

The Downing-Kruger effect is like the Dunning-Kruger effect, but specifically exhibited by people with Down Syndrome. It may be more apparent than usual due to the “stubborn” personality type commonly associated with DS.

My roommate kept nagging me a lot by saying I needed to take NyQuil, even though I actually had pinkeye and it wouldn’t have helped any. I know he thinks he’s caring for me, but he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. It’s not his fault though; he has Down Syndrome, so this is just the Downing-Kruger effect in action.

Person 1: "The fuck is going on with those people, the game just updated!"

Person 2: "That's just the geometry dash effect doing it's thing."
