Nazar boncuğu, also written nazar boncugu, is the blue glass evil eye bead found across Turkey and much of the Mediterranean as a symbol of protection against misfortune. Online, short clips using the name circulate as reaction sounds for videos about luck, envy, or superstition, rather than as excerpts from a film, song, or television show. Because the reference is widely recognised, a one-second version travels easily between memes, short-form edits, and chat reactions, where the cultural symbol does the comic work without needing an explanation.
