Pull the plug

Someone who says that they are going to do something, and on the same day, they decide agianst this.

The reason given is usually not a true one, in order to cover their back.
Someone is going out with his friends, then 15 minutes before meeting up, he/she decides that they are not going to go as they have been asked not to or they can't be bothered etc so they tell everyone that they are going to 'pull the plug'.

If they tell the truth as to why they are not going then this is fine. If they do not tell the truth or more than three people find it questionable as to the reason for them pulling the plug then it will be deemed that the said person has in fact pulled the plug

pull the plug

Can be abbreviated to PTP.

Literally means someone who pulls the ethernet cable out of their computer during a game. This is typically done when the plug puller is losing the game and wants to quit, but does not want to be blacklisted. The purpose is to put forward a pretense that they lagged out and did not quit.

Plug pullers often have the mistaken belief that other players will actually think they lagged out, when in actual fact it provides more incentive to blacklist the perpetrator because it means that others must wait 60-70 seconds rather than have it over quickly.

Let’s Pull the Plug 

Convincing your menstruating girlfriend to pull that rag out and give up the pussy
C’mon baby. You know I love you. Let’s pull the plug. I can’t beat off again.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
