pull a monica?

Hello Everyone,

I got "pull a monica" from the Tv Series friends, which mean do something terribly bad. I would like to know here if the phrase is commonly used in daily Enlgihs?

Regards

Sky

I've never heard it. I've never seen an episode of "Friends".

That's the episode where she's catering a dinner party for her mother, right? (I wish I could say I'd never seen an episode, however they seem to be on the television almost incessantly and they can be hard to avoid.)

If I remember correctly, the phrase only appears in that particular episode, and never became a catchphrase on the show - and it certainly never entered general usage here in the UK, although I can't vouch for whether or not it gets used in the US.

I have never figured out the attraction of "Friends," but my students seem to love it. I suppose the phrase refers to some egregious act of which she was guilty, but it certainly hasn`t entered everyday English in the US.

It's possibly the worst show on UK TV for constant repeats.

And that's saying something. ;-)

God, I thought in civilized countries, like the UK, you never get to watch the same joke twice on TV! Well, that's kind of relieving... ;-)

Due to Bill Clinton, "Monica" became associated with a different type of activity.
