Pull a Spifty

IPA: ˈpʊl ə ˈspɪfˌɾi

Idiom

To accept an Onyxia Hide Backpack without saying anything, even though you already have one and there are mains in the raid who do not.

Origin of the term is uncertain, but some scholars believe it comes from Old Frisian (c.f. German "Ein Spifty pullen"; Dutch "een Spifty puljen"). Many believe the legendary character Spifty not to have been the first to do this.

Iron: If you already have a bag, tell us so we don't give you another one. We don't want anyone to pull a Spifty again.

Pull an Adrenaline

IPA: ˈpʊl ən ə'dɹɜnəlɪ̃n

1) To accidentally summon Thunderaan

The term originates from the late 1600's when the Count of Adrénaline ventured to the outer reaches of Silithus by himself, accidentally summoned a legendary world boss, and had to call the whole guild for assistance or risk losing both bindings.

Chaud: Now that you have both bindings, Iron, make sure you don't go and pull an Adrenaline...
Iron: Of course not, I'm not retarded!
