Get the Mass Effectmug. Occurs when a girl thinks she has found a man that will make all her dreams come true. It doesn't matter about reality--because she views him as her 'beau'--she becomes oblivious to his shortcomings and is totally enamored with the smallest of things.

Girl: (with stars in her eyes) he said "Sup!"
Roommate: (muttering quietly) It's the friggin' placebeau effect at work again...
