Mario Kart Effect

When You are winning at Mario Kart and everything goes to shit. It's as if Lemony Snicket wrote a new series of unfortunate events, except this time they were about you playing mario kart and going from 1st to 8th thanks to fucking Donkey Kong throwing a blue shell, then Toad shoves a green shell up your bum to spin you into a banana peel in which you slip off the edge and as soon as lakitu drops you back onto the course your asshole friend in 8th hits you with a lightning bolt and ends up winning. The frustration and despair caused by the Mario Kart Effect are unmatched, and the probability of the Mario Kart Effect benefiting you are slim to none.

1. It's not my fault that I lost! Its that god damn Mario Kart Effect. (n)

2. Thanks to the Mario Kart Effect, Nick and Zack are quite peeved. (n)

The Gazebo Effect

The mind's habit to transpose words in common phrases, as long as it sounds good.

Patient 1: I think the medicine is working, I feel much better already

Patient 2: Careful, it could just be the gazebo effect. It might just all be psychoschematic.

Pojo Effect

The Pojo effect is a natural phenomenon that happens in this board. It occurs when a seemingly promising thread that contains intelligent discussions is warped by off-topic posts, flame wars, and just plain idiocy. Ultimately, the thread is ruined and becomes a poster of failure of humankind's logic.

The Pojo Effect has clearly happened to this thread. What a shame.
