When a person you start a relationship with morphs over time from a beautiful butterfly to a caterpillar.
Hey have you heard John started dating this hottie name Mary. Oh give it a little time, she let herself go and she won't be anything like she is now. She's the kind that will have the Caterpillar Effect, just look at her mom.

When large groups of people are exposed to the same exact body of facts but “intuitively” feel strongly one way or the other – polarized - based on deeper life-long accruing concerns and prejudices that have significant unconscious bearing on their decision making system (possibly selectively listening/reasoning), but generally unbeknownst to them until it is brought to light by some polarizing event that entirely reasonable people can’t otherwise see eye-to-eye on.
Jesus – I was utterly shocked OJ was deemed innocent by the jury, but every black person I know and love – to a person – felt exactly the opposite of my skinny white ass. Both sides bold-faced convicted to their vision of the obvious truth. Something larger must be going on. 'One million people' (x2) can’t be wrong. The “OJ Effect”.
As an American I went to the Japanese War Memorial Museum where me, an Aussie, and a Brit (who never met before) were utterly dumbfounded by the official Japanese vision of the events of WWII, most notably who started the war between Japan and the USA. Only then did I realize my own John Wayne exposure to the war was equally disturbing.

When a scarcity of attractive females causes the less attractive ones to suddenly receive additional attention from males, leading them to believe that they are actually attractive.
Guy 1: Dude, that girl over there is a 6 at best, but she's acting like she's the hottest thing to grace our presence.
Guy 2: Yep. It's the Cindarella effect, there aren't any real 10's on campus so the 6's get more attention. Let's just leave while we have our dignity intact.

When you hate someone's guts, yet you still want to fuck them brainless.
Person 1: "Wow, I hate Justin Bieber but I'd definitely fuck him!"
Person 2: "That's called the Neymar Effect."

The unique ability to simultaneously generate and harvest "Liberal Guilt" on an industrial scale and transubstantiate it into political capital,
not unlike using Jenkem as an alternative fuel source.
Most commonly seen in the self-loathing, pseudo-intellectuals of the political left who can only imagine expiation of some self-generated guilt complex by the
totally debasement and subservience of themselves, their government and culture to a melanin masterhood.
Also seen in the under 30's crowd as the final installment of the systemic breakdown of critical thinking in the education system wherein the sole reason for supporting Obama is simply the fact that he is black, no other criteria are needed. When questioned about any important campaign issues or their understanding of the "Obama Policy" on any issue, they respond by screaming that the interlocutor is a racist.
This demographic are the pawns and spawns of the foregoing who are, in turn, at best, the willing bitches of a cynical half-caste who is misanthropic enough to use them hard to further his Commie-Farrakhanista agenda.
The Obama effect can be seen at every Starbucks after school
where one will continually hear the refrain: "America needs a black president!"

The sensation one gets from driving a volkswagen.
The effect generated from powering through carefully calibrated german gears in a luxurious VW.
Bill felt overly excited after he test drove the newest GTI. He had to buy it on the spot. He knew at that moment he had succumb to the Volkswagen Effect.

When somebody chooses a brand based on its obscurity.
"Why do so many hipsters wear NuBalances? My grand dad wears those!"
"It's the PBR Effect."
