Pull a sultan

To kill a groundbreaking idea or concept in its infancy
Engineer at Kodak, 1977: "Look - I have invented a filmless camera. It captures pictures digitally. It is going to reshape how we make photos and even film in the future!". Corporate management: "That's cute, but we'll pull a sultan here and rather work on improving celloloid film".

George Lucas, filmmaker, 1973: "I have this idea of a sci-fi space opera version of Akira Kurosawas "The Hidden Fortress". I plan on calling it "Star Wars". Executives at United Artists: "That sounds interesting, but we'll pull a sultan here and ask you to focus on semi-biographic movies like "American Grafitti" instead."

Employee at Blockbuster ca. 1999: "There is this new technology that allows for streaming media rich content instead of having to rent it on VHS tapes and DVDs, and I have set up a server that will allow for Blockbuster to be in the forefront of the market.". Executives: "That is just a niche market. We'll pull a sultan and ask you to restock the Ghostbuster DVDs."

Pulling a Wyatt refers to the act of receiving a game from a close friend via steam or any other viable platform. After the "Wyatt" receives the gift and installs it, they will immediately alt+F4 after reaching the title screen. Never to play it again.

Pull Bite Twist

A sexual act done while performing fellatio, as the receiver nears climax the giving partner will simultaneously pull anal beads from the receivers anus, gently bite the shaft just below the tip of the penis, and twist one of the receivers nipples, when done correctly the person receiving the Pull bite twist (abbreviated PBT) will have a much more intense orgasm. This is due to the massage of the prostate in conjunction with the thrilling pain of a nipple twist and cockbite mid orgasm.
