Bought a canoe

Euphemism for deceit, or going on the run. In reference to the John Darwin disappearance case, who was presumed drowned after his canoe was found washed up on the NE coast of England in 2002, and whose fraud was exposed by a smiling photograph of him and his wife in a Panamanian real estate agency in 2007. His wife had collected £250000 on John's life insurance policy.
'Have you seen Chris lately?' 'No but I heard the the cops were looking for him, so maybe he bought a canoe'

'Sharon is worried that Dave is cheating on her with Ronnie, do you know anything?' 'Well, I'm not saying he's bought a canoe but i have seen them together'

Bought

A bought is someone who is bribed by an organization to endorse them, yet their endorsement behavior is similar to what an online bot would say. Often times it is obvious that they are just in it for the money and don't actually believe in the message they are paid to push on people.
Ex: "I'm from (insert country here) and I fully support the Israeli war effort in Gaza."
