Alison: “is Sarah coming to the beach?”
Sarah’s husband: “yeah where is Sarah. Be nice to have some helping watching our group of five little ones.”
Alison’s husband: “She’s pulling a Sarah. She went for a run and is probably sitting on the deck and having a gin and tonic.”
A pathetic attempt to elaborate on a faux pas by fabricating even more untruths rather than admitting to your blunder.
(Re: Palin's account that Paul Revere was ringing bells to warn the British, and the efforts following to validate her erroneous account of events).
My teenager wouldn't get up this morning, insisting that there was no school, and when I referenced the school calendar, he pulled A Sarah Palin by explaining that in 2012 it'll be a Saturday, and technically there is no school, uh, in the future, on this day, and that the school bells didn't ring yesterday so he knew they were going on and jumping ahead to the 2012 calendar...ah, since there were not that many seniors this year anyway. In fact, he didn't need to go to school at all. Anymore. Because of no bells.

I just got out of a meeting with Sarah Palin.
We had drinks at O'Brian's then went to her house; it was almost a night with Sarah Palin but I left out the bathroom window.
I'd hate for this to turn into a night with Sarah Palin.
I never had a night with Sarah Palin before, but he really liked the moose.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
