Luca effect

The Luca effect describes the process of people assimilating with the incredible Luca due to spending an immense amount of time with him. They start picking up his behaviours as for instance smoking or eating a lot of meat and also his type of humour. The effect was observed and proven many times by his closest friends.

“I heard that juli has become a chainsmoker over the last few days.”

“Haha it must be the Luca effect!”

The William Hung Effect

The phrase refers to the condition where an American Idol contestant, with no talent, goes on the show hoping to acquire fifteen minutes of fame (or infamy). This phenomenon does not specify whether the contestant has an accurate self-perception of how terrible they are.

American Idol producers rely on this percentage of the contestant population to put together the first few shows of each season.

How can she actually think she would make it to Hollywood? It must be the William Hung Effect

the ddr effect

The DDR Effect adj.: a member of the male gender doing something thought to be totally 'uncool' in absolutely no attempt to get female attention, but yet attracting the eyes of every female in the room. Doing something your 'mates' would laugh and mock you for, but the female gender find quite 'adorable' or 'sweet' and therefore think of you as a sensitive guy and potential suitor.
