This troper, after figuring things out on his own that have been figured out before, says "I pulled a Leibniz."

This troper uses the phrase, too. Does that mean that I pulled a Leibniz by using the phrase "I pulled a Leibniz"? It doesn't, but it's close.

This troper remembers this happening in his freshman year of college to a guy with the last name of Frankel. This troper's friend J, Frankel's roommate, caught the guy masturbating to Internet porn on J's computer...''twice'' (the first time, he tried to cover up and play it off, but the screen still clearly showed what he'd been looking at; the second, he just stood straight up and said, "Well, you caught me!"). Getting caught with your pants down in front of your roomie's computer became known as "pulling a Frankel". This soon mutated into "pulling ''one's'' Frankel" meaning male masturbation in general, which was eventually shortened to "Frankeling". This eventually died out, but not until it had spread across campus and basically forced the guy to transfer to avoid perpetual embarrassment.

This troper's (Ice Menorah) circle of friends now refers to gratuitous clumsiness as 'puling a Nick'. Yes, the troper's name is Nick. Worst part? Started it myself, after getting three of my limb wrapped up and nearly falling flat on my face in PE once.

In high school, this troper had an insufferable classmate who one day viciously mocked the teacher, who was very sweet and mild-mannered, for being a vegetarian. This troper (who happens to be a vegetarian herself) stood up and proceeded to tell the offending classmate exactly why that sort of behaviour was unacceptable, and what sort of person it made him look like. It didn't change him, but he stopped bothering the teacher. Afterward, this troper stayed behind to tell the teacher "Sorry I went all Incredible Hulk." The teacher's response? "I'm glad you did, because otherwise I would have."

There is a blond girl in this troper's English class who, when we are reading plays, often gets the role of the evil female or the "friendly" one (or the evil whore, as it were). She herself isn't exactly like this in RealLife, but she can be very...dangerous when provoked, and also has a dirty mind. Thus my boyfriend and I have come to refer to the moments where her "true" character shines through as Emma Frost Moments.

This troper had two of his nicknames used for two variations of his {{Berserk Button}}s by his friends. 'Summoning the Wrath of God' (I know it sounds conceited, but it's true) is what they say when someone triggers my MamaBear side. Going Jihad is what they call my HeroicBSOD (some people call me Terrorist because of my vaguely middle eastern looks).

This troper describes the San Francisco [=49ers=] of recent years as "having pulled a Sonic," after their fall from their status as one of the top teams in the NFL.

This troper has 'going {{Higurashi}} on someone'.

This troper also uses this term as well.

This troper and her group of friends have "pulled a Victoria" for saying/doing incredibly stupid/obvious things, after a friend that, since grade 10 or 11, has become a very stereotypical blonde (but without the real blonde hair), to the point everyone refers to her as "the Dumbass".

This troper almost pulled a {{House}} after a combination of events happened: He got the limp after having toe surgery earlier that day, he was popping mints like they were Vicodin, and he was acting as the DeadpanSnarker after a bad night's sleep. Now all he needed was a cane...

No worries friend. I have Cerebral Palsy and have to use a wheelchair because of it. Because of my disability my hips and back often hurt. One winter it got so bad that I was taking four 600 mg pills a day. Add that to my usual grouchy and sarcastic self and well you get the point.

At this troper's high school, through a chain of events that I'm not going to bother explaining, the phrase "going Pope" came to mean "to beat on in anger". As in, "Stop stealing my food or I'll go Pope on you!" And by the way, the "pope" in "going pope" refers to DonkeyKong. Don't ask.

This troper once went ballistic in the lunch line after one too many people cut her on a bad day. they promptly went to the back of the line, and this normally fairly easygoing troper was met with some astonished looks from some people she knew who were standing close to her. Her response? "What can I say? You piss off Bruce Banner, he turns into the Incredible Hulk. You piss me off, I turn into Super Bitch."

This troper is known for "going Molly Weasley" if anyone in her {{Nakama}} is threatened in any form. Additionally, her character in an RPG, normally a sweet and mild-mannered individual, has recently found herself leading the resistance faction in the game's power struggle; this has resulted in a transformation described, first by the troper and then the other players, as "Jewel is going LadyOfWar on their collective asses."

When someone is sarcastic around this troper, she tells them to "Stop being Jade."

This troper refers to one zone (filled with asteroids) of a space game he plays as "Charlie Brown's Halloween Bag" (nothing but rocks).

One guy (Adrian) in my D&D group has terrible dice luck. (Seriously; to illustrate, one person in the group brought an overtly loaded d6; I rolled it ten times and got only sixes. Adrian rolled it an got a 4.) It's gotten to the point that I've said I've "rolled an Adrian" (3 on a d20), to which the DM replied, "Stop that; you're going to give the poor guy a complex."

The exact opposite happened to this troper. After rolling two ''consecutive'' 100's on percentile rolls, her group has been referring to all 100's as "rolling a Michelle."

This troper is trying to popularize "pulling a Nebraska" for a team getting into college football's championship game without winning their conference, after the Cornhuskers became the first team to do this in 2001 (and they didn't even play in the Big 12 championship game that year). Relevant because it's quite possible that someone (Texas, maybe?) will do that this year.

This troper has a history of overreacting to people picking on stuff (or people) that she likes, so she constantly has to remind herself not to "pull a Chris Crocker".

NausicaaThis troper (whose real name is Phoebe) decided to go on a summer activity holiday one year. She had to participate in a few sports that she... wasn't very good at, including archery. After the week had ended, a few of her friends, against her will, defined "doing a Phoebe" as "completely missing the target, but looking pretty stylish while doing so".

Also, if she or her boyfriend ever invoke the RantInducingSlight, it's 'doing a David Mitchell'.

This troper actually has a Risk strategy named after him at his college. Pulling a 'John Mackay' involves consolidating all of your forces into one spot after the realization that it is not possible to win. After consolidating all of your forces, carve a bloody swath through the board, spreading yourself out so thinly that the first person to take all your territory will win the game. It's literally a last minute beserker suicide run. Actually quite fun to see the looks on the faces of the other players when you totally wipe out the balance of power, without any means of holding on to any of it.

When he was still in boy scouts, this troper knew a kid who accidentally hit his own leg with a hatchet (he got better). His name was Winston. Afterward, whenever anyone handled a hatchet, we would tell them "Careful. You don't want to pull a Winston."

Smoking up: dropping the joint. I only ever did that once...

[Other Troper] ...Doing a John?

A variation occurs in the first online forum this troper joined: a member there known as 'Ranger1' is frequently reputed to have exceedigly bad luck with the RNG-based level-ups in ''FireEmblem''. The inside joke term 'Rangeritis' was coined in reference to this.

My friends use "Pulling a Silver" for acts that are imaginitive, weird, or performed in desperation. They are, of course, referring to This Troper his own self. Silver being the nickname of choice, and the act in question was born of an incident in seventh grade during a floor hockey game. I'd been tripped, and promptly flipped my stick around and use the small of it as a pool cue to score a goal.

This troper's RPG group uses the term "Pull a Steve" to mean "reminding the game master of a rule or occurance detrimental to your party's health", after a member that does this a ''lot''.

In This Troper's immediate family, acting like an expert on a subject you've just learned about is called Andrew-ing (after my cousin Andrew). Randomly interrupting a conversation with something copletely unrelated is Bobby-ing (after my 12-year-old brother, Bobby). Although this is a little unrelated, every time I make a snarky comment, someone is bound to shout "Chandler!".

All names (except Chandler's) were changed for the privacy of the people mentioned.

While playing Mitadake High, his character said out loud while performing his evil scheme "Oh yes, I'm doing a Light on your ass!" when his evil partner in crime asked him who light was he just explained that he didn't know. Roleplaying is weird sometimes.

In Troper's social circle, there is something known as McCampbell's Law, which, yep, is named after this Troper's last name. When you do nothing but fail, and fail big, you get a law. It's begun impeding on their life as well, so at least I can take solace in that.

In my illustration class we have a student, (who shall be called P) and consistently does amazing work. Often it's really unnecessarily ornate but looks awesome. As such whenever anyone does something ornate to the point of absurdity but does a great job they have pulled a P.

Surely most people in Australia know what pulling a Bradbury means. Yes, our proud Winter Olympic speed skating Gold Medalist. =D

Between me and my brother, "doing a Toad" means making the same mistake twice, each time you go a certain place and try doing a certain thing. It's from something that happened in Mario Kart (in two rounds right after each other, Toad(as a NPC) fell down at the almost same place)

This troper's group of friends consists of mostly boys, tomboys and one girly-girl, Amanda. Whenever one of the tomboy girls starts gushing about shoes, shopping or refers to anything as super-cute, it's called "getting in touch with your inner Amanda."

Ever since my friend Madalyn lost the head of one of her props in the middle of a performance, having a prop break is referred to (by me) as "pulling a Madalyn."

Since this troper started at university, to "do a Marina" has been used to refer to both falling asleep in class (before she switched her degree to something more interesting) and to get so hideously drunk one forgets what happened the previous night and most likely passes out somewhere.
