Question

Pull a Fast One to deceive; to mastermind a trick or deception

Accepted Answer

My sister pulled a fast one. She asked me to hold the brush. Then she left, and I had to finish painting the room. This expression originated in the English sport of cricket, and meant to bowl a fast ball. It probably became popular in the United States either in reference to a fast shuffle of cards or to the fastball in baseball, which usually comes when you're not expecting it.
