Pull a fast one - To trick, deceive, or cheat someone, often in a clever or sneaky way. Examples: • He told his boss he was sick, but really, he was on vacation. He totally pulled a fast one. • The mechanic tried to pull a fast one by charging me for repairs I didn’t need. • The player faked an injury to get a penalty—he really pulled a fast one on the referee. It’s often used when someone almost gets away with something but is eventually caught or suspected. | Learn Laugh and Speak
