Come up trumps

Dig someone out of a hole, or do something that turns the tide and turns the situation into a success, particularly at the last minute and when unexpected, with all hope lost.
Same as come through for someone in the clutch, only an older phrase, and more precise, better conveying the sense of "in the nick of time", and "unexpected".

Look at it like this- played out action movie scenario: there are three guys fighting. 2 vs 1. One of them gets knocked out cold, and then the guy that knocked him out pulls out a gun and is about to finish off the other guy. Just when he is about to pull the trigger and send him to kingdom come, he gets hit in the head/ shot in the back etc by someone, and we see that someone is the guy who was out cold.

He came up trumps.

My old junker broke down and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, but this guy came up trumps and gave me a ride.
#come up trumps

This bully started pushing me around, but Daniel came up trumps just when I was about to get my ass kicked big time, and took him down a few pegs.

Pulling a Trump

When you ‘misspeak’. Instead of using a * to correct yourself, you admit that you ‘pulled a Trump’

“When you go to Detroit, I would ride the public bus.” “One correction- I was pulling a Trump! I WOULDN’T use the public bus.”

Taco Bell Trumpet

The rancid and boisterous flatulence resulting from a late night Taco Bell frenzy sometimes compounded by heavy drinking, which is usually the impetus of a fast food craving. Tonal ranges of a Taco Bell Trumpet are similar to that of the actual brass instrument of the same namesake.

I'm sure the broccoli soup at the craft beer festival didn't help, but those those cheesy gordita crunches really got me playing the Taco Bell Trumpet this morning.

Coming home from trumpet practice

An event that never takes place because anyone who participates in the practice of playing a trumpet would not ever want to leave due to the high levels of enjoyability.

Friend 1: so I was coming home from trumpet practice...
Friend 2: stop lying man, I know you don’t play trumpet. Anyone who did wouldn’t just “come home from trumpet practice”
