The strange experience of finding your relatively uncommon name in the Urban Dictionary with a very specific definition that seems to relate to your life. A modern-day horoscope of sorts, finding your name on Urban Dictionary and thinking "haha yeah that's me," then considering if the entry could have actually been made for you. A form of cognitive bias in the digital age... or is it?

Friend: No way, there are probably tons of other Alanos. You're just getting hit by The Urban Name Effect.
Alano: I can't believe my name's also used as a euphemism for Alcoholics Anonymous, damn it.

Get the Namemug. The phenomenon where typing custom names like "EnemyAI" or "VirusAppearence", or any phrase containing neologisms like "Tombocantuxin" lead to "New script" action when you proceed "Add Component" function on Unity Editor
I was just trying to add a new component in Unity, but I hit Unity custom name syndrome when it flagged my script as 'New script' because I named my variable 'Tombocantuxin'!
