What type of phrase is “you’re pulling/doing a sb.”?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
There’s a common phrasal structure that goes:
sb.’s pulling a sb.
or
sb.’s doing a sb.
For instance:
And he's scary looking. And he says "You're doing a John Hinkley on me aren't you?"
Or
Bystanders might think you're pulling a John Edwards.
What type of phrasal pattern is this?
I might opt to call it an ellipsis but I’m not sure.
