Engineer at Kodak, 1977: "Look - I have invented a filmless camera. It captures pictures digitally. It is going to reshape how we make photos and even film in the future!". Corporate management: "That's cute, but we'll pull a sultan here and rather work on improving celloloid film".
George Lucas, filmmaker, 1973: "I have this idea of a sci-fi space opera version of Akira Kurosawas "The Hidden Fortress". I plan on calling it "Star Wars". Executives at United Artists: "That sounds interesting, but we'll pull a sultan here and ask you to focus on semi-biographic movies like "American Grafitti" instead."
Employee at Blockbuster ca. 1999: "There is this new technology that allows for streaming media rich content instead of having to rent it on VHS tapes and DVDs, and I have set up a server that will allow for Blockbuster to be in the forefront of the market.". Executives: "That is just a niche market. We'll pull a sultan and ask you to restock the Ghostbuster DVDs."

When you make plans to go see Huey Louis and the news or go backpacking and the guy cancels a day before for something entirely pointless. Essentially blue balling the planner and bailing on plans.
Hey man! Wanna go see a movie next week? Sure! *cancels an hour before* "Sorry man I gotta go windex Lightbulbs." This dude just pulled a barger on me
To pull a Gigahert is to gain a lot of something in a short space of time.
Dave: Did you just see how many girls I had?!
Bob: Nah man?
Dave: I was pulling GHz

Pulling a Tony Mo is the epitome of being Tony Mo. It means to go stinky mo godmode over 10 times a day in the bathroom without stopping. When Tony Mo does this, his intelligence increases by 3.455.
Wow, Motony was just Pulling a Tony Mo.
Pulling off an upset, being the ultimate underdog. Just like the Football club AFC Wimbeldon.
