Paper Straw Effect

When people design a flimsy straw to save the turtles, but ignore that paper straws cause much more pollution to make, defeating the purpose. This is the effect where people care more about looking eco-friendly rather than being eco-friendly and practical.

The DC effect

When you have been in a high position so long (usually a senator in DC) that you forget what it's like to be a common citizen, and think you're better than those "peasants." Forgetting you once were one.
Senator John Jones just passed a law that harms farmers even though he was one!

It's the DC effect, do not re-elect him.

Vúsch effect

It's a type of a behavior of an offended person. Right after you say something offensive (racist, homophobic, chauvinistic, sexistic, xenophobic, etc.) and they give u that juicy "death stare" which fullfills you with some kind of evil happiness.
You: "The name of this Vúsch effect sounds really gay."
Friend: "Stares at you deadly while he/she is torturing you with the most sharp and rusty tools in his/her mind."
You: "MUEHEHEHEHEHE" (In your head.. or maybe out loud)
