pull a cracker

Chiefly British def - setting off a firecracker, or "Christmas Cracker". Christmas crackers are a traditional Christmas favorite in the UK. The Christmas Crackers are short cardboard tubes wrapped in colourful paper. There is normally a Cracker next to each plate on the Christmas dinner table. When the crackers are pulled - with a bang! - a colourful party hat, a toy or gift and a festive joke falls out.

"Sirius had not contacted Harry at all ... he did not like to think of Sirius alone in his mother's old house, perhaps pulling a lonely cracker (pull a cracker) with Kreacher."

push-pull

A technique used by people who are flirting or trying to get to know someone. Pushing is when you compliment or give a nice comment on someone, pulling is when you are cold and maybe a little mean. The ideal strategy is to push a little and pull a little. This avoids you from being too cold and scaring people off and avoids you from being too weird and passionate.

This technique is good as people will want to get to know you more if you aren't pestering/being a dick to them.

Thank you, Etika. R.I.P 1990-2019

CORRECT USAGE of push-pull:

John (pushing) : Hey you look nice today!
Jane : Thanks!

John (pulling) : Could you leave me alone? I'm sort of busy.
Jane : Oh, sorry.

WRONG USAGE of push-pull:

John (pushing) : Hey, you look soooo beautiful queen. Your thig-
Jane : Please stop harassing me.

John (pulling) : Fuck off, you are annoying me.
Jane: Wow.
