The Williams Effect

The substantial and long-sustained decrease in intelligence and social aptitude test scores measured in many aspects of one's life starting roughly the time they become friends with a particular individual. There is no cure for the Williams Effect.

My friends tell me my social sensibilities have decreased upon moving in with my roommate. #TheWilliamsEffect

I thought I was immune to the Williams Effect until I found myself discussing MMA and WWE wrestling after a few short weeks of hanging with Alex.
