Illusion

You might have thought Jack Palance and Matt Damon were really Irish (or South African for Matt Damon), or Colin Farrell was really Italian, or Jeffrey Wright was really a Dominican that was racist against black people, or that Lorraine Bracco was Jewish and Ray Liotta was Italian (who knows who the guy really is but him) until you looked it up on Wikipedia (or behind you). Then they start to seem a little bit more like posers trying to talk weird than people that teenagers look up to or try to become.

The usher didn't want some schoolboy showing up late to the show, the quiet heped maintain the illusion.

Ames Room Illusion

An Ames Room Illusion is a visual trick created by designing a room with slanted walls, floor, and ceiling that appears rectangular when viewed from a specific spot. Because of this distorted geometry, people or objects inside seem to change dramatically in size depending on where they stand, even though their actual size stays the same.

Ay yo look, it's Tiny Tanner with his tiny mug! Classic Ames Room Illusion, he looks tiny from this angle.

Illusions of Pretense

The return volley of "Delusions of Adequacy", referring to elitist assumptions that any viable corpus of art, logic, or science generated from outside their circle is therefore inherently meritless.

Any brain trust that harbors such Illusions of Pretense about Tinker is doing him a favor not signing him.
