Chiefly British def - setting off a firecracker, or "Christmas Cracker". Christmas crackers are a traditional Christmas favorite in the UK. The Christmas Crackers are short cardboard tubes wrapped in colourful paper. There is normally a Cracker next to each plate on the Christmas dinner table. When the crackers are pulled - with a bang! - a colourful party hat, a toy or gift and a festive joke falls out.
"Sirius had not contacted Harry at all ... he did not like to think of Sirius alone in his mother's old house, perhaps pulling a lonely cracker (pull a cracker) with Kreacher."

Get the Pulling a Legere mug.Rather look across the street before running across just simply run across and hope for the best. Which will never end in the safety of the other side of the road, you will always be hit by the car and break your jaw and many other bones
One man's thought:Hmm instead of looking before crossing this street I'm just going to cross.
Outloud man1:IM GOIN ACROSS THE STREET DURING PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS!
*Man 1 is hit by a car*
Man 2:Dude, you just pulled a nelson. Good job dumbass.
