Refers to college freshman who have never tried Fireball foolishly thinking that they can have more than is actually safe despite the warnings of well-meaning upperclassmen.
Reference to the story of Icarus and Daedalus, in which Icarus, despite his father telling him not to fly close to the sun, does so anyway, thinking himself invincible. The wax holding his wings together melts, and he plummets to his doom.

Get the Rizzler Effect mug.The act of doing something personal for the benefit of other people that in fact benefits the individual doing the action. For example, a person may brush his teeth in the morning so his breath won't smell bad, but benefit personally from having clean teeth. Simillarly, one might organize her office to appear organized to co-workers, but benefit from the organization.
