1 definition by Daddio8878
The act of appearing to work really hard in a physical nature in order to receive the desired outcome of one or more people individually or in a team format. If others around you perceive that you are working incredibly hard, they will feel that they also need to work harder to accomplish a task. The thing is, the person practicing Reverse Physicology is actually faking their effort and is not working at all.
Jim used Reverse Physicology by appearing to strain intensely to pull the dock out of the water, which made the other five people on his team work harder to match his "fake" intense effort, thereby accomplish removing the dock from the water in record time.
