Pulling an Oracle

When a person, company or organization takes over something that people depend on, then totally screw it up so bad, or jack the price up ridiculously high, that it's now completely unusable and loads of people are just plain screwed. The perpetrator then gets off totally scott free, laughing in total glee at others misfortune. Usually used to destroy a competing service, company, technology, person, memory, holiday or other resource. Named for Oracle, Inc. after their acquisition of Sun Microsystems, and Oracle's subsequent destruction of the Java programming language and MySQL database system. But applicable to every day life by cool people as well as nerds. Because cool people are actually smart, not pathetic losers who revel in their own idiocy.
Say you're at a party and some dude grabs your beer then spits in it. "Want it back now?" he says. That's Pulling an Oracle.

Or, say your best buddy had sex with your girlfriend. You can't sleep with her ever again - not after he's been playin' around in that! He just pulled an Oracle.

Another example: say you have sex with a girl for the first time on Christmas eve. Like the dumbass you are, you fall head over heals for her. Then she goes and fucks every guy in sight and laughs her ass off at your subsequent state of total disarray. Now, every time you think of Christmas, you think of her - and all the pain she brought into your world. That's one masterful Pulling of an Oracle.

Pull a Warhol

To defend a mediocre artwork by explaining what it's "really" about, often using obscurantist language and references to other, better, artists. Named after Andy Warhol, an American pop artist and frequent defense shield for lazy, unimaginative and derivative artists.
1. Lady Gaga pulled an epic Warhol in that interview.

2. Bob: But you don't understand, Jesse. You don't actually dislike Frank Zappa, you just don't understand his hidden depths. *insert ontological treatise here*
Jesse: Bob! Don't pull a Warhol on me. You think Zappa's great; I don't. Let's leave it at that.
