Nicholson Effect

The feeling of unspecified love when a person is outside their everyday living environment (City/Town/Village). Usually confused with sexual urges. Often leads to people cheating while away from their families. On the other hand it can bring romantic partners closer to each other. Or it can just manifest as a deeper appreciation for a different city.

It wasn't the Nicholson effect that conditioned me to fall in love with that person while on vacation. It was the person themselves.
