The Flippity-Floppity-Floop Effect

When people (typically white people) start using the metaphors, cadence or slang of another culture simply because it sounds cool, and not because they are familiar with the culture. The effect occurs when the linguistic traits become widespread enough to become diluted and meaningless, and are dropped entirely by their originators.

The word "flippity-floppity-floop" came from South Park, when the issue of language gentrification was briefly touched on (whether intentional or not) in the episode "South Park is Gay". Wherein Chef describes how black people began using the word because white people started saying "hizzouse" and "hizzizouse", with the scene humorously ending with Mr. Garrison using the new word much to Chef's chagrin.

Good Boys effect

A trope on TV Tropes where movie age ratings regulate the age of actors less compared to the age of audiences who watch movies with certain age ratings, resulting in underaged children starring movies that they're too young to watch themselves like "Good Boys" (2019).

The 'Good Boys effect' sparked discussions about whether it's appropriate for underaged actors to star in films they can't legally watch.

The Shardy affect/effect

yes effect or affect because the shardy affect/effect is when a man or woman finds people who are potentially attracted to them or even the slightest bit attracted to them(cute) and manipulates them unconsciously making you think the world is yours when really it’s all a similar situation to a genjutsu and you hold no power except defeat

from the perspective of the “shardy” the shardy affect/effect is when a person who is the slightest bit attracted to you even just thinking you look cute can easily be manipulated, making them think u are giving them the world and you are all they need in life gaslighting and ego boosting them with toxic love for example hype them up for 2 days in a row telling them how attractive they are and the 3rd day act like they are just “ighh” then proceed to follow up the next day by telling them u apologize if u came off rude your just “going through a lot” and proceed to hype them up eventually you will do this unconsciously and their love will grow uncontrollably for you to the point where they will do anything for you.
