couchvoodoo
/ˈkaʊtʃˌvuːduː/nounVerified NewThe fan superstitions that hold one's viewing position, clothing, or rituals to influence a distant game's outcome.
Fans sit in specific seats, change rooms at halftime, and refuse to watch the penalty kick, all in earnest. Couchvoodoo is falsified every season and re-instantiated every season, because the alternative is admitting you do not matter — and no fan accepts that.
Etym. — couch + voodoo: sympathetic magic performed from a sofa, at distance, via television.
