Placeboi 

A male fan obsessed with the English rock band Placebo. Especially Brian molko.

Placeboi's usually dress in black and wear eyeliner. They unabashedly wait hours to be front row at placebo concerts.

placeboware 

1. Software that prescribes to, but does not provides any value or enhancement.
2. Software that provides nonsensical increasing or decreasing values to system resources.
3. Software that suggests, but does not deliver any improvements to lifestyle, productivity or success.
4. Software that makes the user happier once it has been run.

Below are examples of placeboware, but this is by no means an exhaustive list:
Memory Optimizers / Managers / Cleaners / Defragmenters
Flash Disk Optimizers / Defragmenters
Operating Systems that require a single mouse button

placebo effect 

This is mind over matter; when somebody believes that something will happen to his health, it does even when it wouldn't have otherwise. This generally happens when doctors tell patients that their health will improve even though there's no logical reason to believe that; the patients' optimism then helps heal them.

The doctor gave Jimmy sugar capsules and told them it would cure his headaches; it did even though the capsules didn't do anything. Classic placebo effect!

Placebo Day

"Placebo Day" is the unofficial holiday for fans of the rock band Placebo, held annually on 2 May. Its origin lies in a lyric from the band's song "The Bitter End": "We're running out of alibis/On the second of May."

The original group to have started this holiday seems to be the LiveJournal Placebo fan group "placebowhores" (placebowhores.livejournal.com) although it may have originated elsewhere.

"I'm going to listen to 'Nancy Boy' all day long this Placebo Day!"
