B: "Sorry man, later!"
B: Walks away and talking trash
A: "I cannot believe he put the Wilkins effect on me; this is so BS!"

Lewcatch Effect

A psychological phenomenon where a word, place or name is pronounced incorrectly by a lot of people. The Lewcatch Effect is to mispronunciations as the Mandela Effect is to false memories, oral discrepancies and spelling errors. Named after Hungarian Marxist philosopher György Lukács, whose surname’s pronunciation is a matter of dispute. He pronounced his last name “LEW-cotch”, while others make the argument that his last name was actually pronounced “LEW-catch.”

Other examples include:
• Dr. Suess = “Soice”, not “Soose
Tone Loc = “Tone Loke”, not “Tony Lock”
• Martin Scorsese = “Scor-SEZ-ee”, not “Scor-SAY-zee”
• Gyro = “YUR-row”, not “JYE-row”
• Açaí = “AH-sigh-EE”, not “ah-KAI”

“I’m going to Peter’s Mediterranean Shack, do you want anything from there?” - Hugh

“Yes, I’ll have two chicken jye-rows.” - Nikki

“Nikki, it’s pronounced YUR-rows. You’re not the first person to butcher that pronunciation. In fact there’s a word for people who have picked up the habit of incorrectly pronouncing words. It’s called the Lewcatch Effect.” - Hugh

“Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll have two chicken YUR-rows! Thanks for correcting me, Hugh!” - Nikki

Lieberman Effect

The Lieberman effect essentially breaks the world into two types of people: People who look attractive while standing next to Joe Lieberman, and people who make Lieberman look good by comparison. Most of the population is in the former category.

Dude, Gwen just proved the Lieberman Effect!

Street Effective

usually a term for the use of karate in practical everyday scenarios (i.e. gangfights, dojo wars, laundromats). Similar to 'Street Wise' but different in the fact that it is about the application of knowledge of the learning environment to the real world. It's also much cooler than being streetwise.

'Yo dawg, I'm now so much more street effective now that I know how to improvise instead of following a routine.'

Drake Effect

When an NBA basketball team has a celebrity on the sideline (such as Drake in Toronto) intimidating the opposing team causing them to choke in the playoffs or any other game of high importance.

Did you see Giannis miss those two free throws at the end of the fourth quarter? The Drake Effect is strong-
Looks like Jimmy Buffet is sitting on the front row down in Miami. The Heat are hoping for a Drake Effect.
