The Sandy Effect Edit Meaning

1.

(Noun) - the process of elaborate, underhanded, yet whimsical deceit of an unwitting stranger, usually emphasizing the use of telecommunication devices and web-based social networking forums and/or media platforms. The Sandy Effect cannot be borne through malicious intent, only through the serendipitous collision of an unsuspecting victim and an unsuspecting "Sandy."

Person 1: Did you hear about Stacey? She wasted the whole week texting some random guy who she thought was her TA.

Person 2: Oh snap, no way! Another victim of "The Sandy Effect"...
