pull-off
Achieve against odds
A pull-off is a paved area beside a road where drivers can stop—for rest, to check directions, or to let faster traffic pass.
In music, especially guitar, a pull-off is a technique where a finger lifts off a fretted string to sound a lower note without picking again: He executed a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs.
As an adjective, pull-off describes something designed to be removed by pulling: a pull-off tab.
