Caligula's Revetment

A small bundle of toilet paper, situated at the base of the toilet bowl to form a basket before defecation (may or may not touch the water). Used to counter the effect known as Poseidon's Kiss.

In reference to the mad Roman emperor Caligula in Suetonius' and Cassius Dio's apocryphal accounting of his war against Neptune, god of the sea. Some believe these historical reports to be false, regardless of believability.

Daniel: Matthew your friends are worried about you

Caligula effect

This phenomenon refers to the heightened desire and attraction towards something that is prohibited or restricted. This phenomenon, also known as the Streisand Effect, is driven by the impulse to engage in forbidden actions, leading to increased interest and curiosity. For example, a ban on a movie can generate more interest than if the movie were widely available.
The Caligula effect was in full swing when the school banned that controversial book, making everyone want to read it even more.
