(also pulling or pulled)
Executing or removing a huge block of people just because one feels like it, or some equally minuscule reason. Named after Augusto Pinochet, Chilean
dictator famous for his mass "removal" of thousands of rebels.
It can also
mean following in the steps of the Chilean
dictator, but that tense is less likely.
Dude, my coach had fifty
extra guys on the bench right, and he decided to pull a Pinochet and send them all
home. It was crazy, they were like, what?
