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.

Get the Drizzy effect mug.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.

Get the Drag Effect mug.When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.
Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.
Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.
