Pulling a Zelensky

To lure an enemy in by pretending to be a meek wimp and then beat the shit out of them.
— Sun Tzu, The Art of War

The Ottomans were pulling a Zelensky during the Gallipoli campaign, killing 300k British and French invaders.

Captain America spends his entire life pulling a Zelensky.

Pulled a Donny

When you take a sip of a drink and it goes down the wrong way, causing excessive coughing and the inability to speak. Often happens to Donna (referred to jokingly as “Donny” by her sons), usually when drinking water, which is who the term was coined after.

:: Takes a sip of water, goes down the windpipe, extreme coughing ensues ::

“Ah she pulled a Donny”

Pulling a Parrish

When someone panders to a community to gain support or profit, then completely craps on that same community once they’ve gotten what they wanted.

Peyton Parrish: “I love Vikings and Pagans

*a few years later*

Peyton Parrish: “THEY EAT BABIES AND KILL EVERYONE, I ALWAYS HATED THEM!!!”

Everyone: Ah, the classic “Pulling a Parrish”

Pulling a George Washington

V/ To work from home... Named after the fact that George Washington was the only president to never ACTUALLY live in the white house. Instead, he governed from Mount Vernon!

Once, I forgot to hand in my work for French... Good job the lesson was on Thursday, and my then-teacher of French liked pulling a George Washington on Fridays.
