machiavellism

1. A song by the Visual Kei Japanese Rock band Dir en Grey.
2. Being or acting in accordance with the principles of government analyzed in Machiavelli's The Prince, in which political expediency is placed above morality and the use of craft and deceit to maintain the authority and carry out the policies of a ruler is described.
"That song Machiavellism is so good! 'Hurry up, Hurry up, Wrist cut show!'"

Machiavellian

Someone who is extremely good at manipulating and deceiving people for their own selfish gain. Examples of Machiavellians include, but are not limited to: IRS scammers, sugar daddys, e-girls, e-prostitutes, black hat hackers, Donald Trump, your girlfriend (potentially), sketchy sellers on Aliexpress, and that guy down the street who claims he is homeless.

If you are a Machiavellian, please do take note that machiavellianism begets machiavellianism. Research has shown that people who have been psychologically manipulated are more likely to manipulate others.
Dude 1: So I heard you bought some custom videos from this e-girl on Reddit, how'd that go for you?
Dude 2: Extremely bad. I thought she was legit and everything, she even showed me a screenshot of the video, but once I had paid her she never replied back.
Dude 1: Damn dude, I mean I wouldn't have trusted some random internet girl in the first place. The online sex market is filled with Machiavellians, y'know?

Machiavellian delay

A conscious delay in response for the purpose of not appearing too overly eager to respond.
"I reject the concept of a Machiavellian delay. I think social networking has made this tactic transparent. The new ethic is authenticity, which lends itself to fluid communication."

Machaizelli

The greatest person ever to have lived. This person is a wonderful photographer, great friend, and sexy beyond belief. He is also probably an African prince, however this may not always be true. He has the heart of a lion.
Person 1: That guy is really f*cking awesome...
Person 2: Of course he is, he's Machaizelli!

Machiavellian Wheel-barrow

Similar to the sexual position, 'the wheel-barrow' (i.e on one's back in a submissive role with the legs pulled over the partner's shoulders) the bottoming person would be either debating, complaining, glaring (or all at the same time) during the entire process.
I was trying to make him comfortable for his first time, but the agitated little shit kept patronizing me and glaring at me. It was probably my fault for provoking him, but heck it was a total Machiavellian wheel-barrow moment.
