Pulling a Claus

A western Pennsylvania term. It means to initiate plans for a later date, then not show up or follow through with the plans.

Jim pulled a Claus again on me. That asshole called me and told me he had tickets to the Donnie Iris show for Saturday down at Nick's Fat City. I sat around all night waiting for that asshole to show up. That fucker's always pulling a Claus on me.
