Do a Daniel  

1. To have a point of view and to stick to it rigidly despite the logical reasoning of others even though you know that you are actually wrong.

2. To intentionally make yourself seem unapproachable and socially inadequate by way of interrupting teachers or other random members of the public in mid conversation and shouting out a technical scientific term that may or may not be totally accurate.

3. To have ginger hair and leave it so that it grows to the stage between long and short. After this, the hair is maintained at this length but not treated by washing, combing or any other form of control. When the above has been done, the subject must develop a tendancy to lash out at and/or shout profanities at anybody who suggests that they manage their hair and then to storm off and cry.

Person A: "Ok, no need to do a Daniel, let me explain...."
