pull a clemson

To make it to a big stage or high point and then fail beyond comprehension. To fail miserably.

When someone screws up a work:
Well I guess you will have to talk to the boss about that - you pulled a clemson.

To my son, You have a test today. Well don't pull a clemson.

When the check out clerk at Walmart rings up an item twice - Hey you pulled a clemson on my bill.

Pulling a Lorne

“Pulling a Lorne” is when you do not show up to work for days on end, you continue to get paid your wages, and there are no negative consequences to your actions.

He was pulling a Lorne last week and played video games all day at home.
Sweet!

pulling a Brian

Pulling a Brian occurs when a male seems very interested in a girl, pursues her for a decent amount of time then randomly decides that the girl is no longer worth it. The male then leaves with the excuses of "I am not ready" or "I haven't gotten over my past girlfriend." It usually occurs a month into dating.

No I am done with him, he started pulling a Brian.

Pulling a Winnetka

How you describe the actions of a driver that shows complete obliviousness to their surroundings.

Typical examples include rolling into pedestrians on the sidewalk, opening car doors into oncoming traffic, and going the wrong way down one-way streets.

Me: "That car almost backed into that baby carriage!"

You: "Yep, they were totally Pulling a Winnetka."

Pulling a Bush

Using a tragedy to facilitate your agenda

That tow truck driver was pulling a Bush. He didn't care that I'd just had an accident. To the contrary, he was glad because now that he'd showed up so quickly he could profit from my tragedy. Bastard.
