A phrase used to describe when someone claims their internet, phone, and/or TV is down and is therefore
exempt from the associated responsibilities. Used in reference to the fact that no one in
Egypt can access the internet, use
cell phones, etc.
Teacher: Your homework is posted on
my website.
Student 1: Oh,
I won't be able to do it. My internet is down.
Student 2: Hey, he's pulling an Egypt.
Guy: Dude, why haven't you called or
texted me?
Girl: Hey my phone service is down.
Guy: You're lyin'. Stop pulling an Egypt.
