Placebo

Besides being a band a Placebo is also an ineffective dose masquerading as the real thing.
Although what the 'real thing' is, is subjective.

In Biology....
Amanda: "Hey Lu, what is a placebo?"
Lu: "An ineffective dose masquerading as the real thing"
Amanda: "Masquerading eh?"
Lu: "Yep"
Amanda: "Kay, Thanks"

placeboing

placeboing is when you take something you think is a drug, but isnt, and instead of tripping on a drug you trip out because your brain thinks you took a drug. causes anything from mild paranoia to city-wide power outtages.

placebo effect

This is mind over matter; when somebody believes that something will happen to his health, it does even when it wouldn't have otherwise. This generally happens when doctors tell patients that their health will improve even though there's no logical reason to believe that; the patients' optimism then helps heal them.

The doctor gave Jimmy sugar capsules and told them it would cure his headaches; it did even though the capsules didn't do anything. Classic placebo effect!
