The Costco Effect

That moment when you go to the store only needing a few things, then end up leaving with a whole cart of stuff, typically not including the original item(s) you came for. This term is not exclusive to Costco and can be used for any store that manages to get you to fall into its consumerist trap.

"Dang, look at all this stuff we bought. I only needed a couple of things !"

"That's the Costco Effect for ya"

The Conal Effect

When someone is seemingly absent mentally, and acts like an NPC, but the act is theorized to be an antic disposition, and can destroy the universe if they wanted to.

Individuals seeming to be affected by The Conal Effect tend to secretly quantum jump throughout their surroundings. No mere mortal knows when or how, but the individual somehow ends up behind you.

"Hey where'd this guy come from?"
"Guys, I think he's affected by The Conal Effect."
"Oh we're done bro nice knowing you all"

The Commoner Effect

When you’re a super smart person that hangs out with too many “regular” people and therefore lose your intelligence

“Riya, why did you get a 95 on that history test? Maybe if you didn’t go out to dinner with your commoner friends you could’ve gotten 100.”
^ meanwhile the “commoners” are just other people the same age as you
This is the commoner effect

The Syndo-Mathian Effect

When you trick someone into believing something that isn’t true, typically under the guise of having scientific or research-based proof. Often for humorous intent

Daniel: You know how you’ll learn about a song, and then you start hearing it everywhere?

Bill: Ah yes, I believe that’s called Wesolowski’s principle

*later*

Daniel: Hey man, I looked up that thing you said, andI can’t find it anywhere!

Bill: *chuckle* My friend, you’ve fallen victim to the Syndo-Mathian effect

The Djo Effect

A strange feeling of discomfort and agony that occurs when a piece of media (be it a song, a movie, a videogame, a book, etc.) that you are extremely fond of which was once relatively unknown to the general public suddenly becomes extremely mainstream via social media or some other means of publicity, thus kinda ruining the personal connection you had made with that piece of media.

*End of Beginning by Djo plays quietly in the background from a small Bluetooth speaker*
"Man, I used to really like Napoleon Dynamite but then everyone started quoting it all the time."
'Same here man, that's a classic case of The Djo Effect.'

Frank's Effect

a term describing an intriguing social phenomenon where an individual, like Mrs. Frank, unknowingly attracts unwanted attention, particularly from individuals expressing inappropriate familiarity. In workplace settings, Frank's presence seems to act as a magnet, drawing people to their desk, and or have them utter phrases like "That's my BOO Thang," despite lacking any genuine connection. Despite efforts to deter such interactions, Frank finds themselves continuously besieged, highlighting the challenge of maintaining boundaries and navigating social dynamics in environments where one's mere presence invites unwelcome attention.

"Be careful where you sit in the office; it's like Frank's Effect is in full swing today, with everyone flocking around Lisa's desk and declaring 'That's my BOO Thang' as if it's the new catchphrase."
