Pulling a Dickie

When someone takes credit for the success of something that were not involved in.

My child's father is named Dickie. I planned and paid for the entire 5th birthday party. At the party everyone came up to us and said it was a fantastic party. He stood there and said " Thank you". He took credit for the preparation and did not admit he just showed up. He was "Pulling a Dickie"

Pulling a Dickie

Anytime someone scratches on a break in pool, it is known as "pulling a Dickie", in reference to the athlete from Lowell Massachusetts

Was up $80 in pool the other day, kid wanted double or nothing and I ended up pulling a dickie on the fucking break.

Pulling a Dickens 

When you/someone gets WAY to descriptive in conversation or text and ends up writing a fucking novel with what could've been a simple idea.

Tim: Dude, are you coming? We're gonna be late.
Andy: Yeah, sorry man, my wife is pulling a Dickens and wrote me a fucking book about exactly what she wants from the store. Took 4 messages to tell me what kind of pasta I need to get.
