Ocean Walker Effect
A person tries to sound cool by saying they liked something, even though they’re clueless about it. They’re just trying to avoid looking like a dork.
'That painting was awesome!' (he didn’t know what it was about, but he said it was cool anyway.)
She texted, 'That movie was genius!' even though she didn’t know what the characters were arguing about.
He said, 'That song is fire!' but he didn’t even know the lyrics.
