The Camilla Effect

The effect of a woman being eternally adored by a man because she is an ideal woman, rather than a perfect beauty. This term was coined in honor of Camilla Parker-Bowles, who has kept Prince Charles completely captivated for 40 years.

My friend Andrew just emailed me a pic of a woman he knew in college whom he claimed looked like a model back then and is just as hot as she was 30 years ago. All I saw was a middle-aged woman with a sensible haircut, dark glasses and wrinkles. Must be The Camilla Effect.

The Briggs Effect

When you suck at a game so hard that you must destroy the controller so no one has to suffer through watching how terrible you are.

Rosco: Wow, Ben really sucks at this game.
Steph: Yeah, hopefully the Briggs Effect will kick in soon and we won't have to watch this anymore.

The Lemur Effect

When an ordinary guy starts talking to a Lemur causing him to become a furry.

A: "I remember when Callum drank monster energy drinks all day and watched Formula 1."
B: "Yeah he always loved Lewis Hamilton; now he's just a massive furry because of the lemur effect."

The Briggs Effect

Being very sore and feeling as if being hit by a bus from raging too hard at a concert or rave.

Man, after thrashing at the show last night, I'm definitely feeling the Briggs Effect.

The Kunga Effect

The Kunga Effect: 1) The ability to use obscure, unpublished, and cryptic evidence to completely demolish somebody's thesis, e.g. Bahrani(A.D. 4-17-2010, "The Egyptian Image in Context" ca. 12:00 post meridiem). 2) To shoot down with lasers; see for example, death ray, and Death Star 3) A mythological (or not!!!) Sumerian super-equid involved in the last stand against the invading Semites during the end of the third millennium B.C.

:"Dude, did Wengrow just suffer the bitch-slapping wrath of The Kunga Effect?"
:"Oh yes--yes, he did."
:"Once the unyielding power of the lasers is unleashed..."
:"You CAN'T BEAT the laser."

The Lego Effect

The Lego Effect is a strange phenomenon in which a person actively searches for something they need at a specific moment and despite the fact that they have seen the object in question 20 times when they did not need it, they are unable to find it at the time it is needed.

Where is that that straight 2x6 piece?! I saw it twenty goddamn times when I didn't need it!

Sounds like a bad case of The Lego Effect

the toradora effect

When you know exactly what is going to happen in a TV show/movie, but you get emotional about it anyways.

Person A: "I knew from the beginning that Taiga and Ryuuji get together at the end of 'Toradora', but I cried all the same."
Person B: "You just experienced the Toradora effect."
