Oh, dude, pulling a Tom Sawyer is like convincing someone to do your work for you by making it seem super fun and exciting, just like how Tom tricked his friends into painting the fence for him. It's basically being sneaky and getting someone else to do the dirty work while you sit back and relax. Classic Tom, am I right?

To "pull a Tom Sawyer" means to convince or manipulate others into doing one's work or chores for them, often by making the task seem more appealing or enjoyable than it actually is. This phrase is derived from Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," in which the main character convinces his friends to paint a fence for him by making it seem like a fun and desirable activity.
