Forefaran effect

The phenomenon that something which was previously working correctly, suddenly does not work correctly when one tries to demonstrate the operation to others.

"The inventor Zuse was occasionally helped by this good fortune when, contrary to expectations, devices ran without any errors during important demonstrations, and he freely admits that this "inverse forefaran effect" has often helped him." (Der Computer — Mein Lebenswerk, by Springer-Verlag)

The Jerry Effect

The Jerry Effect occurs in the fantasy football league "Get the Belt or Go Home" and ONLY applies to the user Justin and his teams DaBears, Racing With Ruggs, and Waiver Wire Boys. The Jerry Effect is when the user Jerry is out of the league, Justin is winning championships. However, when Jerry is in the league, Justin is not even making the playoffs, and is most likely in last place. This is because the rivaly between Jerry clouds Justin's mind and leads to him making bad moves in fantasy football in order to compete with Jerry. (The Jerry Effect has nothing to do with Jerry winning or losing games)

Justin was the fantasy football champion 🏆 before Jerry joined the league. However now that Jerry is in the league, Justin cannot even make the playoffs. The Jerry Effect

The Mel Gibson Effect

When a celebrity loses their prior popularity due to an unpopular expression of an opinion,

Person 1: Man, my friend James used to be so popular, but after he called that guy a faggot, everyone started shit-talking him.
Person 2: Yeah, classic case of the Mel Gibson effect.

The Jj effect

The Jj effect (it will be studied for millennia) is a beautifully complex effect. An incredible outplay? The Jj effect is present. An awful int play? The Jj effect is present. A pointless solo shatter? The Jj effect is present.
No one truly knows what the Jj effect entails, and it's true meaning is yet to be discovered (hence it shall continue to be studied for millennia to come).
