The Dutch Effect

A consistently negative phenomenon that occurs when Dutch—either a person known as Dutch or someone associated with the nickname—watches a sports game that their friends or family are emotionally invested in. Once Dutch tunes in, the favored team almost always loses. In extreme cases, a star player suffers a serious or season-ending injury. The Dutch Effect has become synonymous with jinxing crucial moments in sports.
Dutch’s family is rooting hard for the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. After staying away the entire series, Dutch decides to watch. The result? The Pacers lose in heartbreaking fashion, and Tyrese Haliburton sustains a major injury that sidelines him for the entire next season. That’s the Dutch Effect in full force.

Regular Degular 

Plain. Not tampered with or upgraded. Basic.
May I have an order of regular degular buttermilk pancakes? Without all the added jazz? Hold the blueberry smiley face, strawberry glaze, chocolate chips and whipped cream.

Usually a male who likes to encourage weight gain in his partner through the consumption of food. Feeders differ from FAs... whilst an FA is attracted to big girls, a feeder gets turned on by making a thin girl fat....or a big girl even bigger.
