Drag Effect

The phenomenon of farting, and walking away with the intention of avoiding potential embarrassment. However, the fart is dragged away with the culprit as the underwear and pants act as a fishing net that encapsulates, and sweeps the fart with it. The culprit does not walk away from the fart, but instead drags the fart with them.
Kevin: One sec, I'll brb, I needa squeeze one out.
Jake: That's chill, but remember to walk away to an ISOLATED area, as the drag effect will soon be implemented.
Kevin: How could I forget? Thanks! How can I prevent drag effect?
Jake: Wear mesh shorts, or drop your non-mesh pants to the floor before walking away, that'll do the trick.

Lotion Effect

When a girl begins to tear when they look at you, specifically if you are attractive.
I don't know why but every time I look a cute guy, I begin to tear up for no reason. He's got that lotion effect when I look at him.

The Emil effect

Jake: “The Emil effect is everywhere
Chris: “What’s the Emil effect?”
Jake: “The Emil effect is where hanging round a certain person makes your mental health worse”

Tribble Effect

A phenomenon that occurs when in Star Trek Online, someone pets their tribble, and others nearby proceed to follow suit.
I went into a crowded space, and petted my tribble. Nearly everyone else nearby who had a tribble petted theirs, as well. Thus, the Tribble Effect.

Carreon Effect

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.
