TheAmster's definitions
To patiently guide someone thru a series of events or questions over a period of time that will ultimately lead them to incriminate or embarrass themselves. Similar to what a lawyer or police officer does to get someone to confess. Can also be similar to a con but the goal is usually to humiliate the person, not take their money.
I know your wife's sister invited you over while your wife is out of town but I wouldn't go over there if I were you. She might be setting you up for the slow burn.
