The Harrison 

A seduction maneuver that trades subtlety for passion. Instead of waiting to see if you can negotiate an end of the date kiss, wait until your partner is in the middle of a sentence, grab her (or him) by the hair, and stick your tongue down their throat with such molten passion they forget what they were saying.

Ideally followed by continuing the conversation and the date as if nothing happened, while watching them try to recover their senses.

The Harrison Ford Effect 

A common phenomenon where a person's most famous artwork, video, movie role, or other creation/appearance in media is incidentally their least favorite, and the person in question inevitably grows to hate said work as it becomes the sole thing they are known for.

The term is named after actor Harrison Ford, who has famously expressed his distaste for the Star Wars franchise after decades of only ever being seen as "the guy who played Han Solo."
A: "John setting his YouTube video to 'private' is just another case of the Harrison Ford effect. He's ready to move on from it."
B: "But it had over a million views!"
A: "That doesn't mean he enjoys hearing about it all the time."
