What's interaction effect?

from Dr. Sakamoto's lecture (Oct 4)

Y=a+bX+cW+dXW

Where
Y= your degree of angry
X= boyfriend forgot your B'day  --> probably not that matter, sometimes he forgot
W= boyfriend had a dinner with his ex-girlfriend --> just a dinner, not a big deal
XW= boyfriend forgot your B'day and he had a dinner with ex ON THAT DAY!!

Lets imagine how big, oh lets use "significant", the effect of interaction term will be!
