Something an average high school graduate has never heard of - and those in college 'saw it on telly once'.
Is that a band?

If a store is having a huge sale (out of business sale, moving sale, yearly sale, etc...) and jacks up the price before applying the discount so that they can still make a good profit. This refers to the price fixing that Enron was part of. Many oil companies that are closing jack up oil prices and then often offer "discounts" or deals that may seem profitable to the consumer.
"I went to Circuit City for their going out of business sale and they went all Enron Style with their prices"

A funny name for Disney's untalented douchebag prettyboy, Zac Efron. In relation to the bankrupt Energy corporation known as Enron. Used as an insult to clue people in that Efron will go out of style pretty soon as well as every Disney Channel star.
Zac Efron: I'm Zac Enron! I am afraid of girls, I have no penis, and I kill small animals with my voice! I hate you. Can I have all your money for my marketing ploy?
Average American: That's nice, sir. Tell somebody who cares.

Shredding a high volume of documents at one given point in time. May or may not be unethical or a questionable practice depending on the situation. For instance, pulling an Enron can be completely innocuous if you are a pack rat known to hoard lots of paper who is doing some spring cleaning. However, it could also serve as a sign that you're about to lose your life's savings due to crooked business practices.
Jamie: Hi, Pat. What's up?
Pat: Not much, just pulling an Enron before my family arrives.

someone or something that has been sued or went bankrupt to the extent that it is more screwed over than the U.S.A. after Bush got his hands on the economy.
2 of the best examples of M. C. Enrons are M. C. Hammer and Enron, of which the term was derived from.

Describes da untrue nature of da tongue-in-cheek "cell phone static" joke regarding da infamous Kenneth-Lay-founded mega-biz establishment in Texas.
Da preposterous "Cell phone static made da honest-and-honorable directive, 'Ship da documents to da Feds' sound like, 'Rip da documents to shreds'" theory was completely enroneous --- da company's corrupt officials did indeed destroy massive amounts of evidence, plain and simple.
Completly making up numbers for the purposes of reporting on something in either a professional, scholarly or financial matter, either to save a lot of work, or for financial gain.
Steve:" don't you have a big poly sci project to work on?"
Bob: "shit dude, I pulled an enron on it. Like the professor actually knows about child labor in Uzbekistan."
Dave: "you're going to jail? Why?"
Jane: "I pulled an enron on my tax return. You know I don't really have twelve kids."
