The Shire effect

Best explained by Frodo Baggins to Gandalf about Bilbo’s 111th birthday.
"Half the Shire's been invited. And the rest of them are turning up anyway."

Often happens at weddings and teenage/frat parties or events in small towns. What happens is when you invite your “A List” of family and friends half say they are not coming. So you send out your “B list” to give them a chance to come and hopefully keep the minimum number of people you set out to invite. However what can happen instead is that the people who said they weren’t coming come and even brings guests as well. Because of the majority of people moving in with each other instead of getting married marriage has become an "event".

Mother of the bride: "Hey was that the Andersons? I thought the invite said that they couldn't bring their kids. And who is that?"

Maid of honor"Its the Shire effect mom."

Foxbat Effect

The Foxbat Effect is when an autocratic country, wanting to show how threatening and virile they are, overhype the effectiveness of their weapons, prompting wealthier and more powerful liberal democracies to develop weapons designed to actually counter the hyped-up weapons, only to then find out that the perceived threat was a turd.

So named for the MiG-25 “Foxbat”, which prompted the development of the F-15.

The T-90M’s missile countermeasures not working after NATO spent millions on weapons than can counter them is a prime example of the Foxbat Effect.

The Roon Effect

The Roon Effect is when your friend (male) starts of as a straight person when you meet them but then they start having more feminine or gay traits as your friend ship progresses. This might happen because of who they play with and if their testosterone is low.

Person 1 : Bro you were so normal when I first meet you, you would make no weird comments back then. Did you get hit by the roon effect?
Person 2: The roon effect got me, I'm more fruity and i'm not comfortable being masculine.
