Kardashian Effect 

The ability for a public figure who has absolutely no redeeming value nor contribution to society to spin that into an asset and able to cash in.
President Obama was elected to office solely on his Kardashian Effect.

the kardashian effect

When someone becomes despite (or because of) a lack of skill, talent or ability. Usually the result of a sex tape or an Instagram account filled with selfies. Named for Kim Kardashian, who was by no means the first person to achieve fame this way, but certainly one of the most infamous.
Starla was hoping to undergo the Kardashian Effect by posting 400 selfies per day.

The Kardashian Effect

Praising someone by giving them fame and/or money for a stupid reason, much like how the Kardashians got fame, titty twitch streamers are a good example of the Kardashian effect
Man 1 : why do people like Charli Demilio have fame

Man 2 : dude, it’s the Kardashian effect

The Kardashian effect

It's when someone complains about how hard they have it, not to get OR take the help offered, but just simply because they want to get attention and create drama to show how hard they think they think they have it.

Especially useful on social media
Example: I’m stuck on the freeway car broken down, no one for miles, kids screaming in the back seat, my eldest has a disability and doesn’t understand and I have no mobile service but it dropped in enough to post this 😰

Response: Help offered by multiple people all turned down with the ‘ill solider on’, it’ll be ok’ or ‘this is my life I’m used to it’. And yet they can keep responding to said posts/texts. Oh, your suffering from the kardashian effect!

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
