The Vacation Effect

An effect that happens to residents of usually rainy climates, on any nice day they feel as if they should be outdoors just because the weather is nice. Staying inside causes an anxious, agitated feeling, the Vacation Effect.

Bob had the Vacation Effect and called his friend Tom asking if he wanted to go outside and play frisbee with him.

Bonnetty Effect

When you have a friend talk for a minimum of 5 minutes and you blank out for the whole time, and than at the end you realize you literally lost 5 minutes of your life and you can't find it.

Bro Mr. Takara pulled a Bennety and we all blanked out for like 50 minutes.

The Bonnetty Effect removed 4 years of my life.

Ourobouros Effect

Named for the symbolic serpent devouring its own tail; in a political ideology, when members of one group turn on a member of the group on the premiss that the member does not represent or isn't extreme enough for the group's ideology. The Ourobouros Effect is common on both the left and the right of the political spectrum.

"The Huffington Post just ran a hit piece on supporters of Bernie Sanders. Something about 'Bernie Bros.'"
"That's the Ourobouros Effect, man."

asshole effect

The tendency for meetings to go longer than necessary because participants feel the need to share their own opinions even though, typically, these opinions are not useful.

Origin: From "opinions are like assholes--everybody has one" and the asshole move of extending meetings longer than necessary.

1. "UGH we could have ended the meeting a half hour early but there was MAJOR asshole effect going on today!"

2. "This is a nice report on our fourth quarter earnings. However, in your pie chart you use magenta and I think that crimson would be more pleasing to the eyes."
"You know, John, when this is printed out through the second floor copier, the color is always slightly different than what appears on screen."
"Hmm, is that so? Has Richard looked at that lately? Have we been sending out reports with the wrong color of crimson this whole time?"
"I think mauve would be a nice color. It was used on the quarter 3 report. It also matches nicely with our company's logo."
"How about colorblind people? Will this be a problem when they read the report?"
"Hmm, Chad, can you get us some numbers on how many potentially colorblind people will be reading this?"
"Ooh, we might also want to do a cost-benefit analysis of toner costs."
<sigh...>
