Mirage

A hallucination, illusion conjured by the brain, resulting from prolonged exposure to extreme heat. This may consist of a water source mirage as seen by a person lost in a desert and thirsty.

Tom dragged himself forward, the demonic sun baking him dry, and spotted a shimmering blue ribbon of a river. Excited, he attempted to run towards the river but found that it was but a mirage. He cried out to the sky in anguish.

Mini-mirage

It's that thing when you think you see a parking spot but it turns out to be a Mini Cooper. Close cousin of the Fiat-figment.

Guy parking:
"OOH OOH OOH there's one...right..there..DAMMIT! Mini-mirage."

Jailbait Mirage

An event that occurs when a legal adult male views a girl from afar who appears to be very attractive due to clothing choice or physical development, but upon closer inspection discovers that she is clearly underage.

John was driving past the local park, where he saw a girl in a short skirt who looked rather attractive. Seconds later, he saw her from a closer distance and realized she was 13, blaming this event on "Jailbait Mirage."

Dart Mirage

A misjudgment due to the shadows from crappy bar lighting, where one believes they scored on an intended target, but actually missed.

I thought I had closed out 15, but alas I was fooled by a dart mirage.

Mirage Effect

The Mirage Effect occurs when you see a female with a Phat ass and the ass alone makes you think that the female is attractive but she is actually not.

Damon: Wow that girl has a phat ass and is hot too!
Matthew: Dude, she isn't even hot, it's just the Mirage Effect taking place.
