pulling aggro

The act of acting in a way as to make yourself seem like a bigger threat than the rest of your squad, particularly in competitive team sports or MMORPGs. As a result, all or most of the opposition will immediately target the Puller. This is a popular tactic for hired Tanks so that their clients, who are usually weaker, will not be targeted by enemies potentially stronger than they wish to challenge. The client gets experience while the Tank usually gets money, items or other favors in return, partially as compensation for any damage taken or insurance for items lost upon defeat.

Oh crap! That sniper's got a bead on my location! I'm pinned down! Hey Grenadier, start pulling aggro for me so I can move!

Hold on a second, let me start pulling aggro for you so you can get some free shots off. Give me some medkits.

Pulling a Sarah

When you smoothly and nonchalantly peace out of family activities while on vacation and do your own thing.

Alison: “is Sarah coming to the beach?”
Sarah’s husband: “yeah where is Sarah. Be nice to have some helping watching our group of five little ones.”
Alison’s husband: “She’s pulling a Sarah. She went for a run and is probably sitting on the deck and having a gin and tonic.”
