The ridicule and scorn caused by a legal threat intended to suppress information.
Named after Charles Carreon, a self-proclaimed "Internet lawyer" who came to Internet infamy by attempting to silence Matthew Inman a.k.a The Oatmeal who had spoken out over another website's copyright infringement and their refusal to take down the infringing material. The complaint led to a charity fundraiser (which Carreon also tried to shut down, without success) and several Internet denizens attacking him via email and phone and hacking his website. Carreon eventually filed a motion of dismissal, ending the case.
Not to be confused with the Streisand Effect.
Whoa, that lawyer totally felt the Carreon Effect when he tried to silence that blogger who complained about his posts being copy pasted.
The phenomenon experienced on the road when someone decides to slow down their car to look at something of interest on the side of the road. This causes that area of the road to slow down for the following hours. This leads to cars, collectively, mimicking a caterpillar walking.
The phenomenon is easily observed on highways.
MAN! Some jerk decided to stop and look at one of the millions of car crashes a day and it's making everyone feel the Caterpillar Effect for the next hour!
An effect of a teen being way too mature for his age. This is based on the anime 'JoJo's Bizzare Adventure', an anime where every guy is a fucking alpha

When a sequel gets so much hype and publicity the majority of newcomers to the series are casual fans who know nothing of the past games/movies in the series.

Skyrim is actually part five in the series excluding the additional games. Take it you never heard of Oblivion either. Classic example of the Skyrim Effect.
Amogus Effect is when you see something online you hate, like Amogus memes, and they start spreading everywhere, and people won't stop saying it, and it keeps spreading and you start going insane, at one point yelling "MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP", but then you lose all your sanity, and you laugh uncontrollably when you see those memes you hate. You embrace the meme, the meme controls you now.
Person 1: Bro wtf happened to you? You laugh like a maniac when you see among us memes
Person 2: The Amogus Effect consumed me. Amogus.

When youre unrecognizable without your glasses- undetermined facial features undetermined and ultimately 'unknown' only because you don't have your glasses on.
;Clark Kent was unrecognizable UNLESS he took his glasses off, only then did everyone know he was superman.
