QuacksO's definitions
The feeling that an action or object is more special/virtuous/valuable if it was performed or acquired while riding/driving in a KIA automobile.
"KIA --- the power to surprise." If you actually believe in the IKIA effect, you will certainly experience some "surprise", all right --- anything that happens while being transported by a KIA vehicle probably will not actually be any more amazing or notable than if it occurred in any other common brand of car.

Da problem with "coorage" is dat while it may indeed make you feel less bashful/hesitant in awkward/frightening situations, it very likely will lessen your inhibitions, as well, and so what might seem like merely "bold 'n' brave" actions to you at da time might actually infringe on other people's personal boundaries.

Get the trackupuncturemug. The infamous and hotly-debated controversy over shallow-water navigational methods which pitted the skiff/dinghy dealers against the hip-boot manufacturers. On the one hand, it is indeed simpler and easier to paddle ("row") a punt around the shoreline as opposed to slogging heavily ("wading") through the mud, but the boat tends to scrape bottom whenever there's anyone sitting in it. This dilemma was further exacerbated back in the mid-20th century with the advent of the notoriously-unreliable Sears&Rowback outboard motor, which often necessitated both paddling AND squish-squooshing over pebbly jagged-seashell-flecked muck to return to the dock from whence you came.
The U.S. Supreme Court was obliged to delay judgement on the "row versus wade" debate pending further developments; they promised to rule on the case once humans gained control over tidal movements.
