A "Brody" is a miraculous maneuver or stunt.
This comes from "Steve Brody", the first man to survive the 135 foot jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. In 1885, right after the Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brody bragged he could survive the fall, and did. His amazing survival caused a media sensation, and the phrase "pull a Brody" has been used since then. (Only four people have *ever* survived the 135 foot drop, which is equivalent to jumping from the top of a fourteen story building.)
In 1885, Steve Brody owned a saloon. Parts of Brody's saloon still survive today in New York's Empire Room, which is fitted with mahogany panels and gold leaf plaster impressions recovered from Steve Brody's Saloon.
The miraculous 1885 survival of Brody made him very famous. From that time to this, New Yorkers have talked about "pulling a Brody" or "taking a Brody", referring to Brody's miracle jump and survival.
In 120 years, obviously, some people have forgotten where "pull a brody" came from. Do some research on Steve Brody and you will see this is the actual origin of the phrase.

I dropped into first gear and pulled a brody.
Yesterday, I pulled a brody on the high dive.
He escaped out onto the roof, pulled a brody, and was gone.

brody is the cute boy every girl in school falls for but isn't afraid to break your heart. he's obsessed with video games and can't enough of the your momma jokes. he lives in athletic clothes and never brushes his hair. he hasn't dated lots of girls but the ones that he did date, he still secretly likes them.

Brody is the typical boyfriend material athletic male. He tends to be a bit of a jerk at times, but if he cares about you more than friends he's very protective. Brody almost always is surrounded by his friends male or female. Brody is normally the one person to stand out to people in a crowd, he always looks good as well no matter what the situation is.
Girl: Is that Brody? He looks great like always..
Girls friend: Yeah he always stands out, and always looks good.
Girls friend: Yeah he always stands out, and always looks good.

He is a cool guy that gets a lot of cheeks. He plays video games a lot but still makes time for booty. He knows how to tickle his pickle and he does it all the time. But he has a lot of friends and booty.
