How have they not even identified these guys? Their faces are gift wrapped in HD for the entire world to see

I think it's mid-90s jargon from back when a lot of ATMs were from the Pulse network, but maybe it's more of a Houston slang to refer making ATM withdrawals as "pulsing money out".

Been around 40 years and that one is a doozy on me! Was shocked at multiple users saying it. May be the tine.

I've never heard it either. Pulse card, yes ... that was a particular brand of debit/credit card (still around today).

But I've never heard the term "pulsing."

It may be regional. Extremely common term that's been around since the advent of ATMs. It was common in northeast east Texas as well. Maybe it was an overall east texas thing.

Quote:

---

The term "Pulse" as used in the context of ATM withdrawals doesn't originate from a general verb usage like "to pulse" (as in a heartbeat or burst), but rather from the PULSE network, which is a brand name for one of the major electronic funds transfer (EFT) networks in the United States. So when someone says they "pulsed money," they're informally referring to withdrawing cash using an ATM that's on the PULSE networkkind of like how people might say they "Venmoed" money.

Origin of the PULSE Network:
Founded: 1981
Region: Texasspecifically Houston
Original Name: The network started as the "Texas Regional ATM Network" and rebranded to PULSE in 1983.

So, geographically, the term and the network itself originated in the South, with its hub in Houston, Texas.

Why the Name "PULSE"?

The name "PULSE" was likely chosen to suggest speed, energy, and electronic connectivity, echoing the idea of digital signals moving quicklyjust like a pulse. It also sounded modern and tech-savvy in the 1980s banking landscape.

Usage as a Verb:

The verbing of "Pulse" (e.g., "I pulsed twenty bucks from the ATM") is informal slang, likely originating regionally in the South or Midwest, especially in places where the PULSE network was dominant. It never became universal like "Google" did, but you may hear it in casual conversation among people familiar with that particular network.

Well you see the victim didn't use common sense. He should known better than to, checks current slang, utilize after hours banking and cash withdrawal services from the automated teller machine machine at that location due to it's very non-color (race) blind location
