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.

Get the Carreon Effectmug. 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 Effectmug. 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.
So when is Skyrim 2 coming out?
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.

Get the Grub Effectmug. The principle that, in fiction, the strongest member of the cast gets utterly wailed on in order to establish just how powerful the villain of the week is. Differs from the Red Shirt in that the Red Shirt isn't given any characterization beyond his/her name, while the Worf is a properly developed character. Named after Worf in Star Trek, wherein he kept getting trashed by the bad guys.
Yo, did you see that new show?
Yeah! That tough guy wound up getting curb stomped.
Worf effect, no doubt.

Get the worf effectmug. When you drink till you drop, but you don’t drop because you’re zooted off uppers, so you just drink and drink and drink, and possibly die, and drink, and then go missing for an hour, and drink,
“If you’re planning to blow through a whole bottle of Bacardi and an 8ball, invite more than 2 people so you don’t die from the fourloko effect”
“Adderal is not a party drug. Trust me, I got alcohol poisoning from the fourloko effect.”
