When someone leads you on with plans but then cancels last minute ; usually followed by some bullshit excuse
“He totally pulled a John last night... he said he was coming at 7:00 but at 6:50 he texted me saying his mom is making him take his dogs to the vet... he doesn’t have a dog”
“He’s totally pulling a John tonight... he said he has to watch his little sister so he can’t come!!”

Going to the loan officer at the bank and telling them you have a 400 credit score with multiple chargeoffs, no job or income and you live on your friends couch and absolutely no way of making the loan payments and then asking if you could qualify for a $400,000 unsecured credit line with the lowest interest rate. The loan officer looks you straight in the eye and asks you if you are "pulling a John Bates" on me?
"Pulling a John Rogers" means when you agree to go somewhere with friends, you cancel at the last minute or sometimes after the event has started. It is generally in association with some unforeseen circumstance like your sister was planning on flying into town and you just found out about it 20 minutes ago. Canceling usually takes the form of a text message. In rare instances, a phone call or email/instant message will occur.
"He's 15 minutes late....he must be pulling a John Rogers again" - look at phone, sees text message: "Sorry guys, I can't make it".
Or, 30-60 minutes before meeting for dinner, someone in the group will receive the following text/email/IM "Sorry guys, I can't make it - I PROMISE I'll be there for the next game".

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
