Pulling a Howard 

This is when you are having a healthy discord with a friend and just as you think you have them on their heels, the adversary brings something up that though technically has something to do with the subject at hand, is just arbitrary enough to completely throw you off of the original argument. This mixed with the opponent's ability to speak at an alarmingly fast pace will cause you to completely forget your best point and therefore lose the battle.
Dude, I was watching CNN last night and Donald Trump's advisor totally PULLED A HOWARD on Anderson Cooper!

Pulling a Howard 

The act of copying, mimicing, a 'funny' or humerous, action by a friend. Going over the top, with this action, either causing damage, or getting the whole group in trouble.
This is a bad social action. In order to pull a correct Howard, you have to deny the Howard itself. Thus blame someone else for the trouble, and/or damage caused
Basically; a fuck up.
