1. A song by Fall Out Boy that talks about where they grew up (Willmette,Illinois, a little north of Chicago). Chicago's weather is affected by Michigan Lake and often causes the surrounding area to be colder.. hence the term "lake effect".
2. A kid from Chicago.
1. Boomerang my head
Back to the city i grew up in
Again and again and again and again
Forever I'm a lake effect kid
I've got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with the squeaky wheel
And Joke us, Joke us
'Till Lakeview Drive comes back into focus
2. Joe: Where are you from?
Steph: I'm a lake effect kid.

Medical term referring to the dizziness and wavy vision that can occur after playing Guitar Hero.
After two hours of Guitar Hero World Tour, everything around me seemed to be waving and morphing. I was experiencing the Guitar Hero Effect.

A phenomena occuring in the music industry, in which an aspect of a band member's (usually the frontman/woman's) personality, actions, etc. becomes subject to quite a lot of debate among both fans and haters of the band. This would be perfectly alright, except for what inevitably happens is that the debate becomes so overblown that people begin to forget about the music of the band, and all they really know is the trivial feud over the aspect of the frontman/frontwoman. Named after Freddie Mercury, the frontman of the British classic rock band Queen, and Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the early '90s grunge band Nirvana.
Mercury/Cobain Effect:
Nirvana Fan 1: Courtney killed Kurt Cobain!
Nirvana Fan 2: Kurt killed himself!
Nirvana Fan 3: You're both wrong, Kurt is alive and well and hiding out in Winchestertonfieldville even as we speak!
Nirvana Fans 1 and 2: How dare you have an opinion that differs from mine, never mind the fact that it's a free country and everyone has the right to believe whatever they choose!
Nirvana fan with a brain: Guys, can't we just talk about the MUSIC instead of whether or not Kurt killed himself...?
Everyone in room but Nirvana fan with a brain: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT'S SO FRICKIN' FUNNY, YOU SHOULD BECOME A PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN!!!!
Nirvana fan with a brain: *sigh*
* * *
Queen fan 1: Freddie Mercury was GAY!!!
Queen fan 2: No, he was bisexual!
Queen fan 3: He had a girlfriend and therefore was straight, so both of you shut up!
Queen fan 3: No, he was straight in the 1970s, but in the '80s, for some strange reason unknown to everyone on the planet, became gay!
Queen fan with a brain: Why does Freddie Mercury's orientation matter so much to you guys? He and his band made a lot of great music, and music is the whole reason we listen to Queen in the first place, so can't we just talk about the songs? You know, the whole REASON we all like Queen?
{insert awkward silence here}
Weirdo: Forget that, I think he was TRISEXUAL!!!
Queen fan with a brain: Just...just forget I said anything...*runs off and pounds head against the nearest wall in frustration*

The Edward Cullen effect is when your girlfriend/boyfriend breaks up with you for somebody that does not exist. This is named after Edward Cullen from the Twilight series, as many fangirls broke it off after she "wanted somebody more like Edward Cullen."
Girl: I'm sorry but...I'm breaking up with you.
Guy: Why?
Girl: I just want...somebody more like Edward.
Guy: (Later) She dumped me for somebody that doesn't even exist...what a douche bag.
Guy2: That's the Edward Cullen Effect, man.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
As described by David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." Hence, the corollary to the Dunning–Kruger effect indicates that persons of high ability tend to underestimate their relative competence, and erroneously presume that tasks that are easy for them to perform also are easy for other people to perform.
He suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
