Pull off and/or bring off? Hi, I found that "pull off" and "bring off" both mean to succeed in doing something despite difficulties but what is more commonly used? Are there nuances? Examples: He pulled it off. He brought it off.

I can't speak for the UK but in the US, I'm not sure I have ever heard anyone use the term "to bring off". It exists, and there appear to be nuances, but I've actually never heard it used. Having said that, I did search a bit online and the difference between them seems to me the implicit difficulty. To pull something off tends to defy a greater expectation of failure. Where "to bring off" might simply mean to accomplish something, "to pull off" seems to mean "did you surprise everyone with your accomplishment".

I searched "bring off" and "brought off" on fraze.it and I couldn't see any examples of the verb with your meaning. It does sound familiar, it is in the dictionary [http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bring-off] and I'm sure I've seen it a few times, but "pull off" is more common in my experience.
