Slang | Verb. Source: Unknown. Definition: When surfing, there are usually many surfers out on the water, and they can't all take each wave. Therefore, the surfer who is farthest out on the water is not obligated to, but has the option to "pull rank" and take the wave. Context: This phrase might be used when one surfer lets another know if he will or will not pull rank on a particular wave. Social Source: Huntington Beach Surfers.
