Some might say this is not tech related, however since Linus is a prominent member of the tech community I would disagree. 

 

In any case Pulling A Linus was recognized by Urban Dictionary today, here is a link to the entry http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pulling+A+Linus

 

Pulling a Linus

Definition: To accidentally drop a expensive or irreplaceable piece of technology, usually related to computer hardware.

Example usage: Austin almost ended up pulling a Linus when he nearly dropped an LG UltraWide monitor.

Okay then.

Anyone can submit to urban dictionary and a good percentage of them get accepted.. definitely not news worthy. Funny nonetheless.

I think this belongs in off topic, but it's still funny.

Do you even Linus bro? 

 

This is in reference to his propensity to randomly drop stuff, usually really expensive stuff.

 

I heard Austin Evans refer to it in his video on August 10th, the LG UltraWide review.

Your point being? Would you rather that I built a complex ruse by using different aliases, would that have made this more or less legitimate?

 

Besides I'm pretty sure Austin Evans or someone else in the tech community coin the phrase, not me.
