Mass Effect

"Mass Effect" is a euphamism for "The second best thing ever invented". The first being, of course, Mass Effect itself. If a person loves something very much, they may say it is Mass Effect. If they say this they mean that thing is the best thing ever invented since Mass Effect itself.

Guy: Oh, man, I really love Carrots."

Girl: Really? How would you describe your love for carrots?

Guy: I'd say Carrots were Mass Effect.

Girl: :O

The Wikipedia Effect

The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.

This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.

"Don't you just love The Wikipedia Effect? It sure is a good way to stave off boredom."

The Haysbert Effect

A new term coined by a great philosopher.

This is when someone THINKS Denzel Washington is the Black guy from All State Insurance commercials WHEN in fact he is not and the said person goes into a frenzy like state thus resulting in a statement being said such as "DUUUDE I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIM!".

Dennis Haysbert:"Are you in good hands?"

Person 1:*Stands up and spills cereal* What the HELL did Denzel Washington just try selling to me?...insurance?

Person 2:No, dude it's Dennis Haysbert!That guy from "The Unit".

Person 1:*Sits back down* Oooh!...wait...*Goes into shock*

Person 2:*Ignores friend spazzing on floor yelling* Damn, The Haysbert Effect...always making people spill cereal on my damn carpet.

The Andy Effect

The psychological phenomenon in which individuals succumb to Andy's wishes/intentions when he declares his availability towards a certain event.

"Fam, I thought you men weren't gay?"
"Nah blood, once Andy starts sucking, we all start sucking."
"Word, it's the Andy Effect."

Perrau Effect

The sudden urge to cry and punch a hole in the wall.

Wow, that's a classic case of the Perrau Effect.

Langston Effect

The phenomena where a fact based post is given negative comments or down voted because:

1. It wasn't funny
2. It contradicts funny yet wrong posts
3. The post writer isn't as well known on the forum as other

incorrect posters.
4. Readers don't like the facts the post writer presented

These happens despite the fact the post writer's answer being verifiable as correct.

The Langston Effect is apparent on UD in the definitions of zipperhead and dubstep amongst others. See also almost anything on yahoo answers.
