When you’ve dealt with so many fuck boys named Ian, that you will swear to never date anyone named Ian again.
He’s really hot, but it’s The Ian Effect. I’m guessing we will just hook up - he’s not marriage material AT ALL.
When a heterosexual, cisgender male is incorporated into a gender-queer, queer, female friend group burdened with the patriarchal wrongdoings experience by the other members of the friend group despite not being associated with the male majority. For a man to fall under the displacement effect, he can only be incorporated into a singular group.
Andie (she/they): I hate men
Max (they/them): speak your truth Andie!
Matt (he/him): guys I'm right here
Andie (she/they): it's ok Matt, you're part of the displacement effect.
The Coldplay effect is named for the band Coldplay, and is used to describe something that is iconic and respected, but generic and only the favourite thing of a small number of people.
"Spaghetti bolognese is a pretty average meal when you think about it, but so many people enjoy it."
"You could say it's affected by the Coldplay effect."
An effect that happens to men in regards to only seeing ugly women for an extended period of time, in which they begin to see ugly women as attractive.
This consistently happens to men who work too much, and dont go out often. Especially in low paying, night shift jobs.
Its called the island effect because one is isolated from the attractive, outside world.
Duderbroseph: I dunno what it is about Esmeralda, but she really seems hot lately
Sane person: uhhh... when was the last time you went somewhere besides work and home?
Duderbroseph: i dunno, like a month?
Sane: Island effect.
Duderbroseph: Shit...
or ISVEE; The process where, after somebody dies, society and the government value the person who died less as time passes by. The more time that has passed since the person died, the less society and the government value them as an individual. How rapidly this process occurs depends on how important society viewed the person as being, how they died, and how many close friends and family the individual had.
Person 1: Isaiah was nice guy. Its a shame more people don't remember who he was and how much he helped this community. Its only been five years since he died.
Person 2: Yeah. Unfortunately, a lot of people have forgotten about him and value him that much anymore. He is a victim of the Individual societal value erosion effect, which is very unfortunate.
Person 1: I agree with you there.
The Zach Effect, also simply called Zach Effect is referring to when a guy gets a haircut, and because of that, looks younger. This often only applies to guys who had noticeably longer hair before their haircut. This is sometimes because the guy had short hair when they were younger, and has just got it back, but the effect can happen otherwise as well.
"Did you see Max's new haircut?"
"Yeah, dude. That's the Zach effect at work."
