Pulled a Ford 

To start a misadventure with a group of friends and get everyone hyped up and act like you are along for the ride, but at the last second quietly leave the group/situation/room and let your friends take all the heat for what everyone (including you) has been part of.

This phrase comes from the automotive industry crisis of 2008 when the "Big 3" American car companies (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) where in financial trouble and looked to the government for a bailout. Initially it was believed by the American public that all three car makers would be getting hand outs, but soon after talks started concerning Americans forking over hard earned tax money to foot the bill of these privately owned companies, it became apparent to Ford that nothing but bad press was going to come from a bailout. So they silently withdrew them selfs from bailout talk, and instead "secured a line of credit in case they require a bridging loan in the near future". This left Chrysler and General Motors to take all the bad press from the American public and led to the phrase "to pull a Ford".

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
