Placebeau Effect

Occurs when a girl thinks she has found a man that will make all her dreams come true. It doesn't matter about reality--because she views him as her 'beau'--she becomes oblivious to his shortcomings and is totally enamored with the smallest of things. Even a one-word text message becomes loaded with meaning for her.

(Girl looks at her phone and smiles, all dreamy-eyed)

Roommate: what's up? You look tooooo happy...

Girl: oh nothing, I just got the sweetest text from Cedric!

Roommate: (cynically) Really! What pearl of wonderfulness did he say, if you don't mind my asking..

Girl: (with stars in her eyes) he said "Sup!"

Roommate: (muttering quietly) It's the friggin' placebeau effect at work again...

Verhoeven Effect

A tendency of poor attempts at satire to backfire, inadvertently creating characters or symbols which people, often including the targets of the satirical work, find genuinely relatable or admirable.

You know, Ron Swanson is actually pretty based. Guess that's the Verhoeven effect for you.

Stonewall Effect

When members of a marginalized community with a reputation for not defending itself actually defend themselves in a way that sparks not only immediate resistance, but also a long-term movement for equality. Derived from the Stonewall Riots of June, 1969, which are generally regarded as a turning point in the history of LGBT civil rights activism throughout the world.

When the kids from the Glee Club gave the guys from the football team a sound thrashing, it triggered a stonewall effect throughout the school, and nothing was ever the same again.
