Pulled a Brian 

The act of saying something at the wrong time. Criticizing someone when they are right behind you, using inappropriate language around people of importance, or making just plain stupid comments around the wrong people.

"Nice one. You just pulled a Brian."

For instance:

"That math test was a bitch!" - in front of the principal's office at your private high school

"This school is NOT the shit" - while passing the head of administration at your private high school

"HEY REF! GET OFF YOUR KNEES YOU ARE BLOWING THE GAME" - yelled in a quiet gym during a basketball game at your private high school...while sitting right behind a teacher

"Who the heck made up that rule? that is the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard in my life" - when the maker of the rule (part of administration) is sitting right in front of you

Pulled A Brian

When you recommend a game to someone and they start playing it more than you and you stop playing it.

Josh: Dude I found this cool game called Tekken

Anthony: Cool! I'll try it out later

*3 months later

Anthony: Wow. Josh hasn't played tekken in a long time and I grinded all the way up to Tekken King in 2 months. He really Pulled a Brian on me.
