to 'pull a Holden Caulfield' is to go on a trip with no real aim in mind; a day trip (or night trip) that is completely reliant on one's stream of consciousness; based on Holden Caulfield's random journey through New York from J. D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye."
We had no idea what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go, so we pulled a Holden Caulfield and rambled around for a while.
