Placebo Antivirus

Also called Placebo Antimalware.

An antivirus program that "detects" fake malware to make it seem like it works.

Origin: A placebo is something that you are told works and seems to be working but actually doesn't do anything.

Most, if not all, antivirus programs were placebo antivirus programs until there was a surge in viruses made by people who decompiled their code.

Placebo Affect

The look on your face when somebody is talking about something you don't care about, but you want to seem interested.

He was prattling on about CrossFit during our date, so I had to give him the placebo affect since he's so hot and I heard he's hung.

Placebo

When you get the vaccine, but by mid 2022 you're still not dead.

Gonzalo Lira: People are dying. Mortality is up and natality (the number of babies being born) is down.
me: But look at Switzerland, mortality hasn't budged.
also me: They probably got placebo...
