Do a Cummings

To blatantly break rules, the law, or social norms out of sense of arrogance, superiority and entitlement, especially when you get away with it or face only tokenistic punishment, thus provoking disgust, anger and resentment amongst the wider public who are expected to abide by those same rules and punished if they don’t. Named in honour of Dominic Cummings, one-time right-hand man to British PM Boris Johnson, who during the first covid lockdown drove across the country from London to Durham to his parents, and made various trips in the local area, later stating these were necessary to ‘test his eyesight’. He kept his job.

Bob: I got pulled over for speeding last night, but the cop let me off with just a stern word after I told him I’m close friends with the police chief.
Tod: wow! Sounds like you really did a Cummings there.

Covid marshall: you’re out in public in lockdown without a valid reason and are therefore being given a £100 fine.
Average ordinary chump: ah man, if I was rich and well-connected I could have done a Cummings and gotten away with this.

Wife: I caught you red-handed in bed with another woman.
Husband: but I had to see another woman in a state of undress in order to test my eyesight.
Wife: don’t try and do a Cummings with me!

Doing a Brierley

'Doing a Brierley' is the process of walking up the stairs with the intent of getting something, forgetting what you needed, walking back downstairs and then half the way down the stairs, remembering what you needed.

"Why did it take so long for you to get your phone?"
"Sorry, did a brierley"

or

"God! You keep doing a brierley!"

doing the ben

The act of deleting one's messages before anyone else is able to reply to them or even read them. If one actually manages to reply in time, they should be awarded an Olympic medal. Even if one messages has been replied to, it is still not safe from being deleted anyway.

Person: "Ugh, he deleted his message again - just when I was about to reply. Now I can't send it anymore."
Other Person: "So he's doing the ben again..."
