The word is a combination of the word FARE (regarding money) and SHAKE (as in the shaking of a person until money falls out of their pockets. To extort money a shake down.

It is an action of deliberately evading
or making payment or restitution.

Its done maliciously by subterfuge, trickery

& in bad faith. This action is in regards to money
& is the opposite of a fair deal.

Some examples :

*jumping the turnstile of a train

(without paying though you have the money)

**running out on cab (without paying though you have the money)
***Take crowd-funded money,
intended to make product or provide a service, and disappear without providing said product or service (without paying though you have the money)

EJ: "I don't want to treat anybody that says something odd or gets something misconstrued as a retard. If they prove otherwise, however, then it is what it is. I'll always give people a

FARE SHAKE."
