Pull A Jack Bauer

verb

The act of successfully staying awake for a full 24 hours without any form of rest whatsoever under the most extreme conditions known to man. This is almost always accompanied by having the fate of the entire world resting on your shoulders.

Those crazy fucking terrorists were up all night trying to attack as many different places as possible to kill millions upon millions of innocent people. But don't sweat it, luckily Mr. Smith was able to pull a Jack Bauer and save the entire world from its impending doom all by himself.
