Apatow Effect

The single-handed influence Judd Apatow movies have had on getting more naked penis shots into mainstream comedies. Mostly to the detriment of society. See Walk Hard, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, etc.
Dude, I just saw Jay's schlong in that Zack and Miri movie. I didn't know Silent Bob had gotten zapped by the Apatow Effect, too.

OJ Effect

When large groups of people are exposed to the same exact body of facts but “intuitively” feel strongly one way or the other – polarized - based on deeper life-long accruing concerns and prejudices that have significant unconscious bearing on their decision making system (possibly selectively listening/reasoning), but generally unbeknownst to them until it is brought to light by some polarizing event that entirely reasonable people can’t otherwise see eye-to-eye on.
Jesus – I was utterly shocked OJ was deemed innocent by the jury, but every black person I know and love – to a person – felt exactly the opposite of my skinny white ass. Both sides bold-faced convicted to their vision of the obvious truth. Something larger must be going on. 'One million people' (x2) can’t be wrong. The “OJ Effect”.

As an American I went to the Japanese War Memorial Museum where me, an Aussie, and a Brit (who never met before) were utterly dumbfounded by the official Japanese vision of the events of WWII, most notably who started the war between Japan and the USA. Only then did I realize my own John Wayne exposure to the war was equally disturbing.

49er effect

A San Francisco-Bay Area term referring to members of the female gender living in an inflated state of mind leading them to believe they are way hotter than are in reality. More simply put, a girl who is a 4 and acts like a bitchy 9.
Dude, I am so frustrated, I need to get out of the San Francisco swamp, all the girls here are under the 49er effect.

Hey have you heard John started dating this hottie name Mary. Oh give it a little time, she let herself go and she won't be anything like she is now. She's the kind that will have the Caterpillar Effect, just look at her mom.
