When an absolutely repulsive person just acts normally and makes EVERYTHING bad. No matter what, if a Shmegma ( a person who exhibits the shmegma effect) is involved, the situation automatically gets worse.
One kid was shooting a basketball when a person exhibiting the shmegma effect, like a dick, blocked the first kid's shot. While this may seem harmless, because of the shmegma effect the ball was blocked into his face.

Condition where the inhabitants of an island consider the island their universe. Anything outside the island is foreign, alien, indistinguishable.
Vera suffered from an acute case of the island effect. She never left the island and thought they were insulated to plagues and economic depressions.

Contemporary art that eschews style, content and technical skill and replaces these with hip effects like randomly applied paint drips and stencils. A reference to action movies that consist entirely of explosions, car chases and CGI.
Guy: I thought it was a good show, with some really aesthetically interesting stencils of spiderwebs...
Guy2: Yeah but you're into special effects.

The contents in Howard Stern's radio talk show were so provocative and offensive that the show lovers and haters can't seem to turn him off but to keep listing to him just to see what he'll say next therefore creating an effect of a hating audience toward a specific entertainer to keep watching or listening to the performance just to see what kind of crap he/she can come up with even though it is not what the audience want.
LonelyGirl15 has a great stern effect on youtube viewers because the people who hate her can't wait to watch her newest youtube videos and leave bad comments about her or her videos.
