pull all the stops

1. v. i. To go balls out, put forth a great effort.
2. v. i. To take a risk, go out on a limb.
Pipe organs have little plungers called stops which control the volume. When the stops are pushed all the way in, the sound is very quiet. When pulled all the way out, the sound is very loud.

She pulled all the stops and cooked me a delicious candlelit dinner. Then she pulled all the stops and asked me if I thought she looked fat in that dress.

Pull and Peel

When a man is wearing a condom and his partner removes it, with some difficulty, to provide further pleasure.

My woman already came, so she hopped of my d and prepared to go down on me. I expected the condom to come off easily, but it ended up being a pull and peel.

pull an obama

To have absolute control over a very responsible position that requires an acute knowledge of a situation only to deny acceptance of any wrong doing when information about a blatant offense to the moral majority becomes so evident.

What?!? the USA was using IRS to attack an opposing political party?.? Let me “pull an Obama” and deny any knowledge of this, or What?!? The USA was letting US diplomats get killed in another country during a critical point in an election?.? Let me “pull an Obama” and deny any knowledge of this… You know… because Hilary Clinton did not tell me of this… Or what?.? The US govt. through the NSA is tapping everyone's personal information?.? Let me “pull an Obama”(insert next un-claimable incompetent statement next in order to agree with the mass media.
