2)Inviting someone over and then either
a)spending a long time on the phone with some dude while you play with her yellow lab in the kitchen.
OR
b)falling asleep while you watch a Rob Schneider movie.
1)Yeah she said she'd be here in ten minutes... 45 minutes ago. She's totally pulling a Martha.
2a)All of a sudden I realized, "dang, I've been playing with this dog for a long time, where'd she go?" then I found her talking on the phone with a guy she met once three months ago. Such a classic Martha move.
2b) I was laughing at Rob Schneider when I realized the other side of the room was silent. She was pulling a Martha for sure.
To pull a Marta means to leave someone on read for 10+ hours while leaving the other person in total dispair. The term had it's origin in a romanticcontext but is also commonly used among friends.
exemple of "to pull a Marta" in a conversation:
person 1: wow I'm so sorry, i overslept and forgot to reply to you...
person 2: yeah and you left me on read, you pulled a Marta on me, how dare you!
Pulling a Mantha is to completely, entirely, and wholly disregard what the previous person said. AKA the most agitating thing a person can do.
Person: "Hey, are you going to do that?"
Mantha Puller: "Look at this picture of my little sister humping a cat!"
Person: "Oh, that's nice. But are you going?"
Mantha Puller: "Well... LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF MY BROTHER'S BUTT CLEAVAGE!"
Person: "Thanks for pulling a Mantha."
Mantha Puller: "How did I do that?"

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.

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!
