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!
