pulling a joey 

Faking sick and not coming to school, instead staying home and doing absolutely nothing.

Saying you did your homework, then looking for a half-hour, not finding anything, saying you swear it was there, and completely lie even though everyone knows you didn't do your homework.
Steve: Where's Joe today?
Ed: Oh, he's totally pulling a Joey.

Joe: I know I did my homework, but I just can't find it. Can I check my locker?
Teacher: Sure
(half-hour later)
*bell rings*
Joe: I did it, but can I get it to you tomorrow?
Teacher: Yes...
*Joe then looks in the extra sheets folder, takes the homework, and doesn't do it anyways. The cycle continues forever*

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
