When someone gets the illusion that they're rich, but their credit or debit card (or both) have very large amounts of debt. Usually the debts are worth THOUSANDS of dollars. Could also be referred to as "The Rich Illusion", or "Rich Dreams".
Waiter - Your total of the bill is thirty dollars.
Roommate 1 - Hey, let me pay the bill because I probably have more money than everyone combined in this restaurant.
Roommate 2 - *Sure you do*. You're experiencing the Illusion of Rich.
Roommate 1 - WHAT?!! I think I'm pretty rich, yeah.
Roommate 2 - Look at the balance I printed off your online banking this morning, you're in debt of over seven thousand dollars!! Your card will probably be declined!
Roommate 1 - Awwwww shit....
Roommate 2 - Exactly. Oh, here comes the waiter now. Let's see what he has to say about your credit card.
Waiter - Excuse me sir, but your card was declined. We tried using it 5 times. We called your bank and they said your not paying your bills and not paying your debt either. They've instructed us to cut your card. We'll employ you for two months in the kitchen here to see if you can pay off your debt and your bill. Have a nice day.
Roommate 1 - Oh crap, my boss is calling. I hope there's no more bad news.
Boss (Screaming) - MOTHERFUCKER!! Your low credit score some of our clients are talking about is losing us lots of potential clients!!! Your FIRRRRRRRRRED!!!!!
Roommate 1 - Okay , lets leave this restaurant now.
Roommate 2 - I think your boss is such an asshole for screaming his ass off like that!

Get the Illusicmug. When it feels like you've gotten rid of 5 pounds of crap, only to look and see it was only an ounce or so.
"I'd swear I just dumped a 5 pound loaf, but there's barely a slice in there..must be a craptical illusion."

Get the Craptical illusionmug. 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.

Get the Illusionmug. "I'm sorry I'm late. I was In The Illusion."
"I just did a couple hits and I'm feeling In The Illusion right now..."
