P
pull a Nancy Drew 
verb
- to fake something to
escape a situation. Origin: from the fictional character Nancy Drew, who
uses the same technique: feigning unconsciousness until her captor looses his
grip, then running away. Notes: usually refers to faking an orgasm to get
someone to stop having sex with you. Often simplified to "pull a Nancy."
By that time I was so tired that I had to pull a Nancy and get it all over with.
