quixote-effect

Reference to the sensations that Sancho Panza (most loyal friend of Quixote) has once Quixote dies and a long-lasting adventure comes to an end.

"The feeling of attachment that a fictional world makes upon a person due to the immersion and comfortable ambiance that creates, blurring the line between fiction and reality and creating a feeling of nostalgia."

"The quixote-effect made me want to become a drug-kingpin after watching Breaking Bad."
"I still cry when I watch The Truman Show because of the quixote-effect, it made me escape from my suffering in a lonesome period of my life."
"I cannot see a golden ring without thinking of The Lord of the Rings, I always wanted to become a hobbit... Damn you, quixote-effect!"

Frank's Effect

a term describing an intriguing social phenomenon where an individual, like Mrs. Frank, unknowingly attracts unwanted attention, particularly from individuals expressing inappropriate familiarity. In workplace settings, Frank's presence seems to act as a magnet, drawing people to their desk, and or have them utter phrases like "That's my BOO Thang," despite lacking any genuine connection. Despite efforts to deter such interactions, Frank finds themselves continuously besieged, highlighting the challenge of maintaining boundaries and navigating social dynamics in environments where one's mere presence invites unwelcome attention.

"Be careful where you sit in the office; it's like Frank's Effect is in full swing today, with everyone flocking around Lisa's desk and declaring 'That's my BOO Thang' as if it's the new catchphrase."
