doing a Claudius

To pretend to be a dumb/weak/stuttering idiot, in order to fool your enemies

Comes from Emperor Claudius, who survived this way the tyrannical purges of Emperor Tiberius and the mad reign of Caligula.

Thus he was able to survive and become emperor himself in the end

Bill may seem like an harmless idiot, but he’s just doing a Claudius in order to fool Frank and fuck his girlfriend while he’s at work

Be careful with Tom, he may seem harmless, but he’s actually doing a Claudius

A problematic cowardly yet somewhat boring act. Usually executed in or around the Wimborne area.

Often involves complete utter cod Shit and inappropriate discussions on conspiracy theory, BMW statistics and certain kung foo moves.

That looser was at the Coach and Horses last night. Doing a Rossiter again attacking thin air with kung foo moves whilst talking utter cod shit about his 1997 beamer.
"punch me in the stomach" he said with a smug I can take it coz I'm hard look written all over his chevy chase.
