to pull a Stacey

A Stacey is when you show up to a dinner late. Then you sit down you order and all. Then you wait for the exact moment when the entrée is served. At that point you ask for the bill. Pay. Leave without saying good bye to anyone or apologising and leaving the meal you ordered untouched.

A true Stacey is pulled when one hosts the event. However, the term has become more loosely defined in recent times.

I hated that party. Thank God I managed to pull a Stacey.

I can't believe she pulled a Stacey last night.

I went on a date but she pulled a Stacey on me.
