The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
"A demand for one's arbitrary condition." Not clear what this means, really. The only given citation is "Mr. Roark pulled a Phryne in court". Possibly a one-off usage, as I could coin "pulling an Obama" etc. Equinox ◑ 19:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

- It looks like a Rand coinage. Frederick Cookinham, a critic, here defines "pulling a Phryne" as daringly revealing something about oneself and demanding one's adversary do the same. The citation is not particularly helpful. — Pingkudimmi 12:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- We have six senses of condition, none of them seem to work in this context. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
