noun
Whenever some stupid mistake is made or some undue effort has been expended - because of the inefficiencies of any involved parties. This is often used in the past tense - pulled a bing. SUNY Binghamton is the origin of this phrase because the university is completely inefficient.
ie - charging a student too much because the financial aid office messed up, or charging a student a certain amount and then, after they've paid, awarding them a financial aid grant of the same amount that was paid, indicating that the student hadn't needed to pay anything in the first place.

When a person, male or female, intends to come an event, and in doing so builds the anticipation of the other people attending the event (i.e. a date or dinner with certain suave people), only to crush everyone’s spirits and withdraw their attendance based on a very poor, unimaginative excuse. See also the pineapple pull out.
Thomas was going to go on a date with Lucy. He was very excited as this was to be the night of all nights, and he had romantically prepared the venue with rose petals and some expensive Moet, along with the smooth tones of a young Barry White in order to set the mood. All of a sudden Thomas received a 'Coward's Telegraph' SMS and to his utter disappointment he was heartbroken to realise that Lucy would be 'pulling a drysdale' and had forgotten that she was sick and couldn't make it..... For the 2nd or 3rd week in a row! Thomas was heartbroken and is still searching for his Lucy...pineapple pullout

Get the Pulling a Lelymug. To pull a Yellow Toad is to exclude a character from a sequel, usually being replaced by someone else. No one ever uses this character, but it was still nice to have them as an option, and their absence in the sequel is immediately noticed. This term originates from the transition from NSMBW to SMM2, where Yellow Toad is replaced by Toadette. It is less common, but a commonly used character can also have a Yellow Toad pulled on them, such as when Blue Toad was replaced by Toadette in the transition from NSMBW to NSMBUD.
Another instance was when Smash Bros. pulled a Yellow Toad on Lucas going from Brawl to Smash 4. At least 90% of Smash players can agree that Ness is overall better, but it was still nice to have him there, even if it meant I couldn't play as Ness for a while in SSE. In Smash 4, when it said I unlocked all the characters, I immediately noticed Lucas was gone. I didn't notice that Snake, Ice Climbers, and Pokémon Trainer (replaced by Charizard) were gone, so I wouldn't say a Yellow Toad was pulled on them, I would just consider them that irrelevant. However, a character having a Yellow Toad pulled on them is subjective, as I'm sure Hideo Kojima noticed Snake's absence in Smash 4. Also however, you can't pull a Yellow Toad on someone who isn't usually there, such as Blue from the Pokémon series, whose replacement gets replaced every game. This also doesn't apply when these games without this character count as an alternate timeline or a side series. The reason the term is "pull a Yellow Toad" and not "pull a Lucas" is because my immediate realization of Yellow Toad's absence in SMM2 is when I coined the term, despite Yellow Toad having had a Yellow Toad pulled on him after Lucas. Yes, I invented the phrase, so no, it technically doesn't exist, but my brother understands what I mean when I say it. This phrase was coined in late July or early August of 2019, sometime after my brother got SMM2 for his birthday.
