Originates from a Codenames game where a player confused Sassoon with the Streisand Effect and confidently assumed the “Sassoon Effect” was a legitimate concept. It wasn’t — and now it’s used to describe those moments when you can’t tell whether something actually exists or your brain completely fabricated it.

Get the The Nicholas Effect mug.**The Kordain Effect** (*noun*, often capitalized)
1. A quantum interstellar galactic anomaly that describes how minor setbacks or errors in space travel, colonization, or intergalactic relations escalate into catastrophic events on a cosmic scale—akin to Murphy’s Law but with exponentially larger consequences. Rumored to be named after Kordain, a notorious schemer known for plotting playful "war crimes" involving moose and general chaos (see also: Canadian history).
2. A darkly humorous concept suggesting that whatever can go wrong in the universe, especially when venturing beyond Earth, will not only go wrong but do so with maximum theatricality and impact.
*Origin:* Believed to have originated within online gaming communities, particularly among players of Star Citizen, where it’s used to explain unexpected system failures or resource shortages during missions. Some speculate it’s a nod to Kordain’s in-game persona as a master strategist of misfortune. Others don't know if Kordain even really exists but they know the effect is real.
*Note:* The Kordain Effect is not an official scientific term but a colloquial descriptor for universal misfortune, often used ironically or as self-deprecating humor among spacefarers and gamers.
