Doing something stupid because someone says you won't.

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.

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.

When you take a quotable book and make a movie adaption and then white girls in their flocks watch it and quote it till it is exhausted (other activites include writing the quote on various surfaces and places and uploading it to instagram, making galaxy gifs with the quotes, getting cliched tattoos, etc).
The term is dubbed so due to the effect on teenage girls everywhere after the Perks Of Being A Wallflower was adapted into a film 13 years after the release of the book.
'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green is likely to go through this effect

Example 1:
Kelly: I just got my new tattoo!
Scott: Oh cool, what of?
Kelly: Oh it's one of those sideways 8's and it says 'In That Moment, I swear we were Infinite'
Scott: wtf dumb hoe
Example 2:
(This hasn't happened but it will, I'm sure)
Jenny: Oh I didn't know you smoked you should probably do that outside though
Hannah: I don't smoke. It's a metaphor, I put the killing thing in my mouth but I don't give it the power to kill me <3
Jenny: ???????? *confused because wtf and how did she just do an internet heart in real life*
Hannah: It's a metaphor~~ <3 Augustus Waters <3
These are both examples of The Wallflower Effect

The effect of a negative teaching output displayed upon a student. Usually the student has learned absolutely nothing on a subject and is, for the most part, doomed for the exam.
The teacher has failed to prepare their class for the final exam through poorly taught lessons and leaving the class on cliffhangers on a daily basis. The teacher may or may not have an accent, which could further decrease your knowledge of the course. The teacher may also fail themselves, being unprepared for class and unknowing of the lessons they teach and questions they assign.
If you as a student has experienced any of these symptoms, then you have undergone "The Labana Effect"
Borrowed from "The Coriolis Effect" and/or "The Albedo Effect"
