The Florence Nightingale effect is a situation where a caregiver develops romantic feelings for their patient. Many often misunderstand the term to mean the opposite; that is, a patient falling in love with the caregiver as a result of interpreting an amiable bedside manner as affection.
See Florence_Nightingale_effect on Wikipedia, often confused with Nightingale syndrome (which is something else entirely).

A phrase that is used when more than one neighbors sexual activities can be heard at the same time, giving the impression that a nightingale is dying in boiling agony. The common response to this layer of awkwardness is to eat pasta.
I swear all my neighbors were going at it last night...so I had to bust out the old nightingale pasta cuz I don't have a girlfriend.
16 year old Snapchat model. Everyone thinks she is gorgeous. She dated Jacob Sartorius in the past.
Have you seen Lisa Nightingale’s story? She’s so stunning.
An absolute legend of the dragons, we will love him forever!!!!
Jason Nightingale was not only a great player, but a great sportsman, with great sportsmanship.
An excellent all girls school consisting of grades K-12. The academics are superior to many other schools and its exquisite curriculum contributes to amazing graduating classes with students ending up in schools like Brown, Harvard and Yale.
Nightingale Bamford School is a wonderful place

An expression about someone who is so unimaginably ugly that you would rather pour acid in your eyes than glancing one more time at this person.
Mischa: hey dude, have you seen Alain lately?

The Nightingale Bamford School is one of the best schools in the United States. It is located on the upper east side of New York City. All though the show Gossip Girls is based on this school, the actual school is nothing like the show. Nightingale is a great all girls school full of rich and beautiful but not snobby girls. 9 out of 10 guys say Nightingale girls are the best in bed and the best to marry. The girls there are very smart and have great humor due to the great teachers there.
"Look at that girl,she's so beautiful and graceful and well-poised"
"Well duh,she goes to THE Nightingale Bamford School"
