Pulling a Pesci

Before a bar fight breaks out, the process of leaning over to the other guy as if you were going to say something friendly in his ear, so as to reconcile -- and then smashing your glass drink across his face.
What Joe Pesci does in Raging Bull. "I might be pulling a Pesci if this punk across the bar keeps flapping his mouth."

Joe Pesci Syndrome

Similar to Napoleon Complex, the Joe Pesci syndrome is a result of appearing vulnerable, (ie. Short, scrawny, Nerdy) in a hostile environment, and being hyper violent as compensation. People with Joe Pesci syndrome do not attack to hurt, they attack to show everyone else, why not to provoke them. Someone with JPS, is not above fighting dirty, using weapons , or having others come and intimidate people for them just to prove a point. JPS rarely start issues, but they are inclined to end them.
“Dude, I would not keep fucking with Troy. He might be small, but he choked out Cory on the bus, on some Joe Pesci Syndrome shit.”

“I know I freaked out at the bar, but you know what it’s like being small, I got Joe Pesci syndrome.”

Joe Pesci impression

A bit you can do with your buddies, tell someone to do a Jay Leno impression, and then have them to a joe Pesci impression, where you do the “funny how” line. Tell them thats wrong and ask for more Italian Americans but NEVER ask for joe Pesci

For example, start with Jay Leno, then Robert De Niro, then Steve buschemi, then john Travolta, etc.

Keep doing the bit until you get sick of it or the person you’re doing it to kicks ya in the family jewels
person #1: Hey big man can you do that really great Jay Leno impression ?

Person #2: yeah I got you, YOU THINK IM A FUNNY GUY, FUNNY HOW? LIKE I’M A CLOWN, LIKE I AMUSE YOU??

Person #1: no no that’s not it, that’s Steve buschemi

Person #3: dude thats literally a joe Pesci impression.

Person #1 and #2: who the fuck is joe Pesci?

pull a pesci

To stop a bull session abruptly and prosecute a thoughtcrime in an obnoxiously aggressive way, as was done by the character Joe Pesci played in the movie Casino.
(a bunch of people laughing and joking about something all tongue-in-cheek)
Aiden: (music stops) Whoa! Whoa! Steve, what the hell?

Steve: What?

Aiden: What the fuck you mean by that? You think it's FUNNY that Oscar Pistorius is missing his legs? You some kind of ableist hatemonger?
Steve: Huh? Dude, he killed his girlfriend, and we're all just kidding around, man. Cool it.
Aiden: Maybe we should cut YOUR legs off! Then we'll see how funny it is. You know what? You disgust me, you hateful piece of shit. You should kill yourself.
(everyone quietly gets their keys and goes home, leaving Aiden alone with his girlfriend Ella.)
Ella: Jesus Christ, Aiden. Why the hell do you always have to pull a Pesci every time I take you anywhere?
Aiden: I was bullied in high school.

Perci Chari

A large fat bulbous dark turd particularly painful and strenuous to pass, often followed by dumpy short lumps, leaving a considerable stain on the white porcelain and a long lingering odious smell.

Pencive

That look on woman's faces when they find out what Mike Pence and The D mean by"Grab Them by the Pussy" after they over turn Roe Vs Wade.. It's an all encompassing Vice grip..
She looked Pencive after her redneck uncle forgot to pull out, now she has to raise the funding to get to Canada so she isn't forced to give birth to her nephew.

Pencil and Sharpener theory

The lock and key theory can finally be disproved. The lock and key theory states that "A key that opens many locks is a master key, yet a lock that can be opened by many keys is a useless lock" The counter theory, the pencil and sharpener theory states that "a pencil that is sharpened by a lot of sharpeners becomes a useless stub/pencil while a sharpener that sharpens a lot of pencils is a good pencil sharpener" This theory is rarely favoured by males... for some reason.

Are you curious to know how this proof was derived? if YES, Click on Alt + F4 (on windows) and ⌘ + Shift + W (on a mac)
The pencil and sharpener theory is mostly used to shut a boy up when he brings up the lock and key theory. Works everytime
