To achieve vastly beyond one's abilities; seemingly without logical explanation.
Named after Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the UK, who has managed to achieve high office without any discernible talent, an alleged long-term affair with someone way out of his league, and an ally in the Prime Minister despite being woefully unprepared for a pandemic that led to a tragically high mortality rate.

"The Government knighted me even though I'm being investigated for fraud. Is it because I'm a Tory donor or did I just pull a Hancock?"

Get the Pulling a Maple Leafsmug. The act in which a dedicated wingman/woman seals the deal with the main target's ugly friend, thus allowing YOU ample space to make your move on the babe/hunk.
The term is derived from the Star Trek quote "To boldly go where no man has gone before..." and should be used to emphasise that the fugly friend was so incredibly nasty that it is presumed that she/he had probably never had connection with the human race in such a way before.
Although predominantly used in wingmanship, it can also be used in context of someone merely pulling an ugly person whilst blind drink for humorous effect.

Get the Pulling a Star Trekmug. This phrase originated when my daughter an I saw the movie Hancock starring Will Smith. The movie is progressing nicely, and inspiring great laughs, when all-of-a-sudden like, the movie goes sideways and there's Egyptian gods and dichotomous entities and other crazy crap.
Thus was coined, the phrase, "...pulled a Hancock"
Which essentially means that everything was great until the writers and/or directors went bat-crap-crazy and sent the story sideways into ludicrous land.

The point in the movie Hancock when Charlize Theron is suddenly some kind of Egyptian god bound to Hancock - this is the point when the story "pulled a Hancock" - and sends him flying out the house (flying as in flung, not of his own volition).

Get the pulled a Hancockmug. Definition: To abruptly quit a fantasy football league mid-season out of frustration with your underperforming roster, often accompanied by a dramatic rant labeling your players as “overpaid bums” or otherwise blaming them for your team’s downfall. Usually includes abandoning lineup management and forfeiting any chance of redemption.
“Bro, did you see Ryan hasn’t set his lineup in two weeks?”
“Yeah, he’s totally pulling an Aaron — called his whole team ‘bums’ and rage quit after that 3-point week from his RB1.”
