Pull a Spifty 

IPA: ˈpʊl ə ˈspɪfˌɾi

Idiom

To accept an Onyxia Hide Backpack without saying anything, even though you already have one and there are mains in the raid who do not.

Origin of the term is uncertain, but some scholars believe it comes from Old Frisian (c.f. German "Ein Spifty pullen"; Dutch "een Spifty puljen"). Many believe the legendary character Spifty not to have been the first to do this.
Iron: If you already have a bag, tell us so we don't give you another one. We don't want anyone to pull a Spifty again.
