illoosory

Da non-genuine status of da copious affection/appreciation/praise dat someone of "relaxed morals" showers upon a gullible attention-craving sucker.

If you receive unexpected/undeserved levels of pleasantries from someone, it's likely just illoosory attention --- most likely said copiously-flattering individual is either lonely, sex-starved, or a gold-digger.

Illusory superiority

a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their positive qualities and abilities and to underestimate their negative qualities, relative to others. This is evident in a variety of areas including intelligence, performance on tasks or tests and the possession of desirable characteristics or personality traits. It is one of many positive illusions relating to the self, and is a phenomenon studied in social psychology.

I hate people with Illusory superiority. They're all just a dick to society.

Illusory Phat Ass

This is the illusion the majority of basic girls on Instagram and Tinder create in their pictures to make it appear as if they have a phat ass. Generally these girls will bend their bodies close to a 90 degree angle (practically breaking their back) or stick one of their legs out to achieve this illusion. They also will only take pictures from the side or from any other strange angle that can create such an illusion.

John: Dude, this chick looks hot as hell. Look at her ass! I should definitely swipe right
Brad: No, swipe left. She only took pics from side and she’s bending in all her pictures. She has an illusory phat ass

illusory currency effect

A phenomenon where players are more likely to spend money on microtransactions when the purchases are made using in-game currency rather than akcual currencies. This effect occurs because players perceive in-game currency as less tangible, leading to a diminished sense of spending.

Developers capitalize on the illusory currency effect, knowing players are more willing to splurge on cosmetics and upgrades when they can use in-game coins instead of akcual currencies.
