The Urban Dictionary Effect 

An effect seen on Urban Dictionary, when the top 'Word of the Day" has more thumbs down than thumbs up. Typically caused by a troll's lack of understanding of a term, or hatred for the fact his term was not a Word of the Day.
"Wow! Farting at a Fan is a top word!

*Thumb down*

"Woah, this feels like The Urban Dictionary Effect.

What happens when u'v replaced a social life for a computer, found this site then tried to reintroduce yourself back into society only to realize what u should've known in the first place...your a douche and no amount of "urban" lingo will ever change that!
Douche: Hey friend
Dudes: .......
Douche: I have this flirtationship I have to work on....later
Dude#1: What a fucking douche!
Dude#2: Its The Urban Dictionary Effect....Created a whole douche renaissance
Dude#1: *Takes his own life*

Dude#2 Now spends his days in Asia dodging std's and campaigning against the spread of douchyness with the popular campaign slogan "WTF". Through education and economic incentives all for the ultimate goal of reforming article 7 of the Rome Statue of the international criminal court to include Douchyness as a crime against humanity and therefore punishable by death.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
