Sully
A term used to identify or describe a person who has gone
beyond the impossible to save your ass, or the ass of others, generally non-deserving folk(s) or at a minimum the situation was so bad that a complete hat trick was never in the cards. Named specifically for Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully and without any outward signs of stress landed
US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January 2009, saving the lives all crew and passengers aboard. Not just anyone can be a Sully, however: designating or describing someone as a "Sully" requires that they not just perform (for all practical purposes) a sincere "no problem, thats my job," or "its ok, that's what I'm trained for"
just another day at the office type of miracle, but thereafter must maintain the fundamental poise and character of the real Sully, a man who not only shunned the spotlight but submitted a request to his local library that they consider waiving the late fees on the book he was carrying on that US Airways flight, (which of course ended up at the bottom of the Hudson) -- on the subject of (no surprise) professional ethics.

Sully, noun/adj, derives from the old English word "suilline"; of or
pertaining to a
hog or hog family. It has become a more modern term adding the sense of being
unfunny and overly idiotic.
Example:
Typically, this word is used when someone attempts to make a joke but ends up
sounding like a
moron. In which a person would then call them
sully by saying "Yeah
Sully?"

a male child who strangely resembles
shirley temple and will not shut the fuck up. Most teachers hate "
sully" and wish him to never speak again. A "
Sully" will frequently ask stupid questions that will either end up in a very short sentence, or a
reprimand for asking something so stupid (if a reprimand occurs a "Sully" will give a long, unnecessary explanation of what was going on through his mind when he asked the question). Somehow he manages to pull good grades out of his ass. He also embarrasses himself in front of others and then when laughed at he says, "I did it on purpose to get a laugh."
NOTE: "Sully" is capable of saying "you know" 14 times in a short monologue.
