Pull an Adrenaline 

IPA: ˈpʊl ən ə'dɹɜnəlɪ̃n

1) To accidentally summon Thunderaan

The term originates from the late 1600's when the Count of Adrénaline ventured to the outer reaches of Silithus by himself, accidentally summoned a legendary world boss, and had to call the whole guild for assistance or risk losing both bindings.

Chaud: Now that you have both bindings, Iron, make sure you don't go and pull an Adrenaline...
Iron: Of course not, I'm not retarded!
