Pulling a Meghan McCain 

Indicating ignorance on a subject to be somehow legitimate because "I wasn't born yet."

As when confronted by Paul Begala, on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, with the fact that Ronald Reagan blamed his problems on Jimmy Carter for many years, Meghan McCain responded, "I wasn't born yet, so I wouldn't know."

To which Begala replied, "I wasn't born during the French Revolution but I know about it!"
I asked my friend Daniel, "Who's bigger, Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley?"

Daniel: "Who's Elvis Presley?"

Me: "The King of Rock and Roll? Hello? '50s, 60s, 70s?"

Daniel: "How should I know? I wasn't even born then!"

Me: "Dude. Are you seriously pulling a Meghan McCain?"

Scott: Oh funny, that reminds me of that scene from The Goonies when they are on the underground pirate ship.

Willis: What is the Goonies?

Scott: You don't know what the Goonies is? You just pulled a Megan. I'm going to clothesline you.

Willis: What is a clothesline?

Scott: <clotheslines Willis>

Pulling a Megan 

When a person drinks too much alcohol too fast and soon after spends the rest of his/her night vomiting all over the sidewalk as well as hugging the porcelain goddess at home!
Alyssa got so drunk lastnight, she was definitely pulling a Megan!
