CrossFit pull-up

a meritless and fraudulent set(s)/repetitions of pronated pull-ups performed by exploiting the momentum gained through kipping cloaked as thoracic convulsions executed in an elliptical path on a standard, fixed, elevated, horizontal pull-up bar; it is erroneously promoted often by CrossFitters as a "functional movement"
Those CrossFit clowns love to claim that their CrossFit pull-ups are better for strength as a (purportedly) "functional" exercise when, in fact, it doesn't even measure true upper body strength since it relies on momentum - unlike a true or traditional pronated pull-up which is, when executed properly, a superior closed kinetic chain compound movement and a more appropriate indicator of upper body strength since the primary muscles involved (i.e., latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and biceps brachii) are forced to work (concentrically and eccentrically) WITHOUT utilizing momentum.

to pull a Hancock

To achieve vastly beyond one's abilities; seemingly without logical explanation.

Named after Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the UK, who has managed to achieve high office without any discernible talent, an alleged long-term affair with someone way out of his league, and an ally in the Prime Minister despite being woefully unprepared for a pandemic that led to a tragically high mortality rate.
"There's no chance I won't be arrested after committing all of these crimes. To get out of this, I need to pull a Hancock."

"I just got promoted three times in one day despite sexually harassing a colleague. I must have pulled a Hancock."

"The Government knighted me even though I'm being investigated for fraud. Is it because I'm a Tory donor or did I just pull a Hancock?"

Pulling an Itachi

Doing something seemingly and bad and making someone hate you when in reality you did it for their own good. Typically results in misguided resentment.
Pulling an Itachi:
So you mean to tell me my best friend banged my girlfriend because she was bad for me and I deserved better? You mean to tell me the new good non-toxic relationship I have now is because he sacrificed our friendship so I could find love? Holy #### he pulled an itachi!

Pull a Gurk

Someone who says something totally inappropriate to a woman without even knowing her.
The man said to the woman, "I like your dress, you should have worn one that show a little more ass in my opinion."

(The man "Pulled a Gurk" when he said that to the woman)

If you want to Pull a Gurk, you need to be an asshole to a woman who is a stranger to you.
