"PULL A YAHOO!" = To create a lot of hype around something--really build it up (like Yahoo! Photos and Yahoo! 360), get large amounts of people interested, even "hooked", then close up shop, runaway, then hide behind legal rhetoric all the while still building themselves up to be hip, new, wonderful, fresh...
Sentence: "Gregory put tons of photos on Yahoo! Photos and a lot of time and energy into "Yahoo! 360. Yahoo shut both down. After moving to other sites, I fear that my new web services might "Pull a Yahoo!" and do the same thing as Yahoo!"
"I sure hope Multiply.com don't pull a Yahoo!"

Get the YAHOO mug.A racist, bigot and overall culturally insecure person operating under the anonymity of the Yahoo.com news article comment section to purvey their hate for anything other than white males. They often show special affection for older, obese, white males with limited vocabularies who drive pickup trucks. While displaying qualities of evangelical driven hyper-patriotism in the form of nationalism, a devout Yahoo may often be found waving a Chinese made American flag or adorning one.
Stupid Yahoos don't even realize the Battle Flag of the Confederacy holds strong ties to racial division and slavery. More importantly, they don't care.
