Pulling a Turco is an excuse of the lamest proportions. This is typically an excuse given at the last minute after multiple promises of coming to Jiu-Jitsu class and/or an open mat. Examples of pulling a Turco can be any or all of the following :

1) Work got the best of me today.

2) Wish I could make it but I’m buried in work.

3) I have to babysit my parakeet.

4) Wish I could come to class today but I have to wash my ferret.

5) Sorry guys, can’t make it today because I got pulled into a meeting.

Training partner 1: Open mat is on fire today, where is Tom? He promised he would come today.

Training partner 2: Five minutes before open mat started, he told us that he couldn’t come because he had to wash his poodle. So lame.

Training partner 1: What a douche, he’s totally pulling a Turco.

Training partner 2: Yep, he’ll be in a white belt forever.

Words you can keep

grebo

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
