The River Effect 

When one individual within a team or group speaks first during a presentation, however during their speaking they cover all of the notes which were meant to be covered by the group as a whole. This generally renders the rest of the group in a awkward and unpleasant situation of not having any information to contribute to the discussion.
River, Dave, and Alex are all presenting a project on elephants. They have a 2 page summary of notes.
River is the first to speak, and in his brief time speaking he covers all 2 pages of notes. This leaves the rest of the group with nothing to say.

This is "The River Effect" , everyone else in the group is stuck awkwardly stumbling for things to say or contribute.

Will Riker Effect 

It's the unsettling feeling given to others by a man who has removed his facial hair and who, as a consequence, looks strange and unfamiliar. It is often intensified by any one, or more, of these: a weak chin, thin lips, or a strongly cleft chin.
When I shaved my beard off, my girlfriend stopped putting out. She blamed it on work stress, but I think it was the Will Riker Effect.
