pull my finger
Classic juvenile gag
Pull my finger is a request that sets up a juvenile prank: the person asking releases flatulence as soon as someone pulls their finger, pretending the tug caused the fart.
The phrase has become shorthand for crude, childish humor: Dad jokes and pull my finger—that's his whole comedy repertoire.
