Pulling an Argo 

When someone places something really light on their foot to get out of turning wrenches or doing any actual work.
Skater: “I don’t want to work today so I’m gonna tell the Boss I dropped something heavy on my foot. I’ll even bring in some Motrin and limp a little to really sell it! ”
Everybody else: “you’re pulling an Argo again?? I’m so tired of doing all your work, bro.”
