Scaramucci Effect

When someone or something "crashes and burns" immediately after "peaking". This can be used to describe an event of quick reverse of someone's fortune.
"Did you hear that Chad is now mopping floors at K-mart?", Ryan asked.

Kyle looked up at Ryan with a sigh. "Ehh, that's fitting considering his diarrhea accident in the boardroom."
"And to think, when he got that promotion, he was the youngest VP in the history of Google," he added.
"Scaramucci Effect is a bitch!"

Mario Kart Effect

When you are falling behind, or doing poorly in an event, and the greater power or governing force allows you to catch up to the pack. The reverse effect is had on the pack leader.

Derived from Mario Kart -- the Greater Power of Mario Kart inevitably grants the 8th place racer stars and lightnings until he catches up with the pack. On the other side of the coin, the first place racer will receive bananas and green shells until his lead diminishes.
Jeremy, the CEO of an I-Banking firm, is doing very well.

Stu, the man dancing in the street wearing a sign for Mattress Land, is not doing so well.

The Mario Kart Effect takes place, and the government makes Jeremy pay more taxes than Stu -- hopefully one day they will both return to the pack and do pretty well.

Tom and Jerry effect

A strange phenomenon encountered when attempting to cross an empty road, where right as you go to step out hundreds of cars suddenly show up and make you stand there waiting,

Named after the scenes in Tom & Jerry cartoons when they put a toe on the street and millions of cars rush by, they remove the toe and the street is quiet again.
Let's cross over here, I can't be bothered to walk to the crossing and there's nothing coming....(enter billions of cars from nowhere)....uh oh, damn Tom And Jerry Effect.
