Get the Taking a piss off the Hollywood signmug. It can just mean making fun of someone or something; it can mean blatantly flouting what one knows to be a rule or normally acceptable behaviour, just because one can get away with it; it can mean selfishly taking advantage of someone, or of a situation, or taking a liberty, especially one involving hogging all of what is understood to be a shared resource for oneself.
