Tutu Effect

The Tutu Effect: n. The phenomenon of misremembering the Mandela Effect, named after Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who many people falsely remember as being Nelson Mandela. This is often caused by confusing the two prominent South African leaders who were active during the anti-apartheid movement. Can also refer to misremembering details about other events or people that are similar in nature. Additionally, it can also refer to meta-irony, where people recognize that they are having a 'Tutu Effect' moment.
I was convinced that Charlize Theron was in the movie 'Aeon Flux' but my friend corrected me and said it was actually Margot Robbie. I must have fallen victim to the Tutu Effect.

Tutu

a type of skirt that ballerina's wear, but also a small brown chihuahua that lives with his family on the planet of Sedna. He was the first chihuahua on the police force, and will probably continue to be the only one.

His past occupations are police officer, teacher, and orphanage home manager. Besides his family, he also lives with many orphans whom he has adopted.
That ballerina forgot her tutu for the rehearsal today.

At the police station yesterday, Tutu questioned me about the murder until I told him I did it.
