pulling a joey 

Faking sick and not coming to school, instead staying home and doing absolutely nothing.

Saying you did your homework, then looking for a half-hour, not finding anything, saying you swear it was there, and completely lie even though everyone knows you didn't do your homework.
Steve: Where's Joe today?
Ed: Oh, he's totally pulling a Joey.

Joe: I know I did my homework, but I just can't find it. Can I check my locker?
Teacher: Sure
(half-hour later)
*bell rings*
Joe: I did it, but can I get it to you tomorrow?
Teacher: Yes...
*Joe then looks in the extra sheets folder, takes the homework, and doesn't do it anyways. The cycle continues forever*

Pulling a Joey 

When during a conversation, someone interjects with a comment that is off topic, and often nonsensical, or illogical.
Example of Joey pulling a Joey:

Zech: "You don't get your burger with mustard? Ew."
Jackson: "What do you mean mustard fucking sucks on burgers."
Joey: "Dude I think Owen and Trishelle are gonna hang up on me."

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
