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. Even a one-word text message becomes loaded with meaning for her.
(Girl looks at her phone and smiles, all dreamy-eyed)
Roommate: what's up? You look tooooo happy...
Girl: oh nothing, I just got the sweetest text from Cedric!
Roommate: (cynically) Really! What pearl of wonderfulness did he say, if you don't mind my asking..
Girl: (with stars in her eyes) he said "Sup!"
Roommate: (muttering quietly) It's the friggin' placebeau effect at work again...

Get the Placebeau Effectmug. Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details. However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.
This isn’t a conspiracy, and we’re not talking about “false memories.” Many of us speculate that parallel realities exist, and we’ve been “sliding” between them without realizing it.

Get the Mendela Effectmug. When a game creator takes a character they made super bitchy in their first appearance, and tries to make them super bad-ass for later appearances, but over-does it so much that they still seem super bitchy, just also over-powered. The original "Raiden Effect" of course being 'Raiden'c from MGS2, later to appear in MGS4 as a super bad-ass cyborg thing.
"Man, remember when Riku was a bitch in the first Kingdom Hearts game? He's got 'Raiden Effect' up the ass now." "Man, they took a weak whiny kid and made him the main character... The Raiden Effect strikes again."
