Pulling a DEAN 

Deaning or pulling a DEAN is to disappear, ghost, or abandon someone/something for a long period of time ( 6 years) despite consistently promising that you or it are coming soon.

The process of Deaning someone is often elongated by a prolonged fall down the stairs on Instagram live or any retelling/reposts of the aforementioned event.

Man A: hey has that girl still not texted you back?
Man B: yeah she's really pulling a dean on me.

Woman A: Dean said we'd get the album next year right?
Woman B: Yeah but that was 5 years ago.
Woman A: Wow he really deaned us huh.

Netizen A: *reposts video of Dean falling down the stairs
Netizen B: oh no! Now the albums gonna get deaned for another year!

To feign surprise or question something where it is glaringly obvious that what is being said cannot be construed in any other way. The person 'pulling a Dean" does so when a minuscule error in wording gives him/her the justification for questioning what is obvious to 99.99% of the population.

Oh my hat! I have to tell you about the time Craig was pulling a Dean. The other day I told him that my car was running low on diesel and that we needed to pull into a petrol station. And he said to me 'oh but I thought you needed diesel?"
