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"

You are on a team at work. You have worked your ass off on a project...did all the research, assimilated the material, produced the presentation...etc. Your superior reviews the information, gives you kudos on a job well done. At the final presentation, superior talks about how hard the research was...the time it took to put it together...blah...blah...blah....and does NOT mention your name or effort.

These include - White Noise Black Thunder Blue Velvet Each drug had a trademark colour, as implied by the name, Red Ramrod was red, Blue Velvet was blue, etc. Each drug also having a different effect. The drug came in a small plastic pod with a needle on the end, it was injected directly into the jugular/neck. Fast acting. Effects lasting for one or two days before the user experiences "the shakes" and requires another dose or "shot" Cain takes credit for the drug, although he had a scientist working on the formula of the drugs, “Hank”. Cain looked upon his drugs as being a way to liberate people, and bring them peace. He himself was an addicted user, and this played the role in his downfall in the movie. |
