When someone throws a party at their residence with the sole intention of attracting a certain individual.
Dude 1: Why did Eric throw this party?
Dude 2: He straight pulled a Gatsby. He was just trying to get Sarah to come over.
The act of jumping up in the air, grabbing your ankles and proceeding to land on your knee caps

that overwhelming feeling when something is audacious, impressive, yet utterly superficial and indeed pointless...
it also also useful in defining something which is very funny but a little self-indulgent, attention seeking, or plain eccentric
useful reference points would be the parisian boutique on rue st honore - 'colette' or wallpaper magazine perhaps
monacle magazine is also WELL gatsby
'oh my god this hotel is WELL gatsby'
'look at all this gatsby shit'
'she walked in wearing THE most gatsby outfit imaginable'
