pulling a joseph 

To buy a ton of unnecessary shit, but never buy anything you actually need (especially in the realm of personal hygiene). To use other people's stuff but never tell them or compensate them in any way. To make a huge net negative contribution to the overall war effort. To be overly spontaneous, but not in the cute way. In the annoying way. To make random, mind-boggling decisions, or to say things at completely inappropriate times around the wrong crowd.

Pulling a Joseph 

An American male who moves to a foreign country (primarily in Eastern Europe) with the premeditated intention of hoaxing a local into a romantic relationship with him. With the inevitable result being marriage between the two individuals. Then the male subsequently takes his "trophy wife" back to America. The male being less than desirable. The female fitting the traditional standards of being extremely attractive and, of course, fertile!

More from Urban Dictionary
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.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
