Quote from Phoebe in The One with the Cuffs
Monica: I'm such an idiot. I can't believe I thought she could change. Phoebe: Who cares what your mom thinks? So you "pulled a Monica." Monica: Oh, good. I'm glad that's catching on. Phoebe: But why does that have to be a bad thing? Just change what it means. Go down there and prove your mother wrong. Finish the job you were hired to do, and we'll call that "pulling a Monica." Monica: What? Phoebe: Okay, if a kid gets straight A's, his parents say, "You pulled a Monica." Or if a fireman saves a baby, they'd go "Oh, yeah. He pulled a Monica." Or someone hits a home run, and they say, "That one's out of here." Because some things don't change.
