Participation Bias

The act of enjoying a team or performance only because you participated in it.

"Man, the choir was so amazing! Especially since I got a solo!"
" Now that's just participation bias."

fartification

Refers to where one or more individuals intentionally direct their butt-trumpets in a certain direction to ward off undesirables. Extra points if a whole crowd of people “combine forces” by forming a barrier-line and all bending over and “collectively letting fly” to further encourage said undesirable(s) to keep their distance.

Mass-fartification can indeed be a highly-effective means of preventing less-than-savory individuals from “crossing the line of fire”; the only usual problems would be if the unwelcome person either doesn’t have a good sense of smell, can hold his breath for extended periods, or thought to bring along a damp rag to tie over his nose.

Participation Ribbon

Similar to a trophy wife, only without the appeal. Rarely wears make-up or flattering outfits, opting instead for mom jeans and baggy t-shirts. Travels by minivan, often with beads, a dream catcher or a Hawaiian lei hanging from the mirror. Not likely to have had any augmentation or surgical improvements done, instead believing in "natural beauty." Much less likely to be served with divorce papers upon turning 40.

Wow, look at the lady in curlers driving the Aerostar. That's beyond a second place trophy wife. She's a downright participation ribbon. She should really get that mole on her face checked out!

Johnny waited with great fanticipation as the sweat dripped from his balls.
