The Laura Effect

Date her and you’ll love her but when you break up you’ll love her but hate her at the same time.
She’s beautiful and the best you’ll ever get!

Guy: she broke up with me... *is upset*
You: that’s the Laura effect for you

The Lara Effect

A phrase that encapsulates the expectancy of an individual "one-upping" you after a statement. This involves the systematic and conscious practice of making one's associates feel inferior and thereby gaining the status of being "one-up" on them.

Person A: Have you ever double booked?
Person B (aka "The Lara Effect"): Yeah I have triple booked... lunch, happy hour, and dinner.

Lara Croft Effect

When playing a computer game and despite pressing all the right buttons, your character does something wrong or completely random. Typical of the Lara Croft games, even on all platforms.

Dude: Hey man you just died! You were supposed to jump over the gap! Why did you dive into it?

Non-dude: Hey man! Don't get at me! That's the Lara Croft Effect!
