Pulling An America

Doing something very stupid, like when America voted for Trump to be the president.

Dude you are pulling an America, why would going down that halfpipe on skis be a good idea?

Pulling An America

Doing something unexpected by suddenly deciding to vote for a candidate who everybody hates on election day. The ultimate act of trolling people emotionally dependent on election results.

Pulling an America is a great way to elect reality TV stars.

Pulling An America

Saving your ass just in the nick of time. Coming through at the last minute. Saving the show just when everything was headed down the shithole. An unexpected and successful "Hail Mary" pass.

Shit was on the verge of total collapse but by pulling an America we saved the day.

Pulling an americano

When a charismatic U.S. guy love-bombs and then ghosts or abruptly ends things with a foreign girl. There’s nothing more American than an enthusiastic man calling you incredible on the first date, talking about introducing you to his family and friends on the second, and disappearing without a trace by the third.

Similarly, there’s nothing more American than a watered-down version of what was once a rich Italian espresso, now sold as a café chain favorite. Both shower you with instant comfort, only to leave you bitter and questioning your identity.

“Hey, how’s it going? Still seeing that Brooklyn guy who was all over you?”

“Nah, he is pulling an americano. Haven’t heard from him since he told me I was the best thing that ever happened to him… on our third date.”
