A lingering smell.

HISTORY
When one eats peanut butter the smell of peanut butter sticks with them for a extended period of time even though all evidence of the peanut butter is gone.

Often related to other items of similar consistancy. (read:feces)
Example 1:
A dog does his business outside and comes in to sit beside you. The dog smells very much like his dirty business even though his anus is completely free from 'cling-ons'. This is the peanut butter effect.

Example 2:
One is doing laundry and notes the 'peanut butter effect' on a pair of underwear. The underwear may only inhibit a foul smell or may be accompanied by 'skid-marks' after being well used.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/
