When you recently learn about a new person, place, or topic (often from game shows, similar to Jeopardy) and then the person, place, or topic randomly comes up in conversations or reoccurs in your everyday life multiple times.
The answer to a question on Jeopardy was Keith Ferrazzi (an author), and then one of my co-workers sent me an e-mail about him inquiring if I was familiar with him. A few days later, I read a newsletter and Keith Ferrazzi was mentioned in it. This is an example of the Jeopardy Effect.

Get the Jeopardy Effect mug.When a scarcity of attractive females causes the less attractive ones to suddenly receive additional attention from males, leading them to believe that they are actually attractive.
Guy 1: Dude, that girl over there is a 6 at best, but she's acting like she's the hottest thing to grace our presence.
Guy 2: Yep. It's the Cindarella effect, there aren't any real 10's on campus so the 6's get more attention. Let's just leave while we have our dignity intact.

Get the Neymar Effect mug.The unique ability to simultaneously generate and harvest "Liberal Guilt" on an industrial scale and transubstantiate it into political capital,
not unlike using Jenkem as an alternative fuel source.
Most commonly seen in the self-loathing, pseudo-intellectuals of the political left who can only imagine expiation of some self-generated guilt complex by the
totally debasement and subservience of themselves, their government and culture to a melanin masterhood.
Also seen in the under 30's crowd as the final installment of the systemic breakdown of critical thinking in the education system wherein the sole reason for supporting Obama is simply the fact that he is black, no other criteria are needed. When questioned about any important campaign issues or their understanding of the "Obama Policy" on any issue, they respond by screaming that the interlocutor is a racist.
This demographic are the pawns and spawns of the foregoing who are, in turn, at best, the willing bitches of a cynical half-caste who is misanthropic enough to use them hard to further his Commie-Farrakhanista agenda.

The Obama effect can be seen at every Starbucks after school
where one will continually hear the refrain: "America needs a black president!"

Get the PBR Effect mug.Beautiful women who start living or studying in Maastricht (small dutch town) are affected by this phenomenon. BEcause of the shortage of men, they become desperate, they become attracted to unattracted/weird guys and give them un deserved attention. the following symptoms are often linked to the Maastricht Effect: freaking out over text messages, hitting laptops and screaming f**k you at the guy in question at the Vrijthof in the middle of the night.
