Dopplerganger Effect

The effect of someone looking more and more like you as they walk towards you, and then less and less as they walk away.

I thought I saw my twin walking towards me, but I was just experiencing the Dopplerganger Effect.

James Bond Effect

The James Bond Effect (also called 007 Effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.

Called the James Bond Effect - in reference to the James Bond character - as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of James Bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first Bond film in the 1960's will tell you Sean Connery played the best Bond, however those that saw their first Bond film in the 1990's will tell you Pierce Brosnan is the best).

Mike: Hey, John I hear that Dave got fired? You guys had lunch all the time didn't you?
John: Yeah, he was let go last week. The wierd thing is our Manager keeps going on about why he got fired - showing me emails and letters. If you ask me, that's just wrong - that's confidential information.
Mike: Well, that's the James Bond Effect for you. Management know that you will probably catch up with Dave sometime soon.

The Greenblouse Effect

The process that occurs when sitting on the toilet while taking a dump that results in the odors or gases from ones poop to be rise up through their shirt, become momentarily trapped, then come out the collar of their shirt and into the dump-takers face. One can only choose to make things worse by then taking off their shirt after and releasing all the gas trapped under the shirt at once, creating a somewhat artificial fart. One can avoid The Green Blouse Effect by taking their shirt off PRIOR to taking a dump. It is similar to the Greenhouse Effect in the matter that both involved trapped gases.

Person 1:"Man, I took a dump then took my shirt off right after and there was like an explosion of poop odors that came out!"

Person 2:"You gotta watch out for that, it's called The Greenblouse Effect. We can do our part in preserving the welfare of our noses by taking our shirts off before we partake in the act of pooping."

The Shatner Effect

A cinematic term when in a movie or television program, an actor or actress removes their top, or appears without it for no apparent reason.

The scene from "Swordfish", where Halle Berry moves her book to show her boobs for no reason is a classic case of The Shatner Effect.
