Ginked is normally used to describe the condition of a Ginker car (see Ginker) in East Brunswick, NJ in the 70s. The first thing any self respecting Ginker did to his car upon newly acquiring it is to gink it. This usually entails making the exhaust as load as possible, jacking up the rear end to install the largest tires that will fit or just fit with some rubbing of the fenders. As the stages progress other Ginker items are added in the effort to make the car faster. Chrome was always a favorite, even if it has no effect on overall performance. Chrome valve covers, diff cover and alternator were common. Primer spots or entire primer paint jobs typically adorned the bodies of the Ginker car. Most Ginkers preferred to gink a high performance car like a Mustang or a Camaro, but a true Ginker could gink just about anything if the funds were not available to get the most desirable car. Vegas, Pintos, Gremlins and even 4 door Mom cars could be seen ginked and parked in the Ginker parking

area along the back of the East Brunswick High school. This parking area was from the back gate along the road and to the side parking lot near the auto shop classroom. Some say the term Ginker actually came from the sound their cars made as they drove over the many speed bumps placed on the road that encircled the school. Most Ginker cars had traction bars mount to the rear axle and these bars would slap the underside of the car when big bumps were hit making a sort of gink gink noise.
My friend just purchased a nice"66 Mustang from a used car lot. I'm sure he will have it ginked within the week.

grin fuck 

grin fuck (verb) - a sales technique in which the salesman smiles profusely while delivering bad news. Since 80% of human communication is based on body language alone, the simple deception of grin fucking is often enough to prevent the victim from fully conceptualizing the bad news until later, after they've already agreed to the deal.

Note: the best defense against grin fucking is to call attention to it by casually asking the salesman why they are smiling.
Salesman <while grin fucking the hell out of you> We had to order a part from overseas, so the invoice came in $500 over the original estimate.

You <after sipping your coffee>: Why are you smiling? That sounds like bad news to me.

Salesman <suddenly befuddled>: Oh... no reason. I guess I'm just in a good mood today.

You: Okay, well, since I never approved the additional costs, what discounts can you provide to bring us back closer to the original estimate?

shit eating grin 

Sometimes shit-eating grin.

(1) n. A shit eating grin is a very wide and, to the outside observer, stupid looking grin, usually showing smugness, self-satisfaction, or inner humor. The term is most often seen in the expression "Wipe that shit eating grin off your face!", usually said by the aforementioned outside observer. This observer-based definition makes "shit eating grin" the negative counterpart to "You look like the cat who ate the canary." While the two expressions describe the same grin, they have very different connotations. This definition has nothing to do with the term "shit eater".

(2) n. Someone donning a forced smile in an uncomfortable, embarassing, or compromising situation could be said to have a shit eating grin. Because an uncomfortable situation is much more closely related to "eating shit" than smugness, it is plausible to assume that this is the first definition, although far from the most common, and that the above definition is a result of drift from this one.

Both of these uses are documented in the Oxford English Dictionary no earlier than 1957.
(1) Upon telling Elaine he knew a secret, Jerry donned a shit eating grin and refused to reveal it.

(2) Forced to admit defeat, the politician managed a shit eating grin as he called for and end to "bipartisan rhetoric".
