A Victorian slang term meaning quarrels or arguments. It was referenced in Queen Victoria's journal 'More Leaves' in 1884.
More Leaves : “At five minutes to eleven rode off with Beatrice, good Sharp going with us, and having occasional collie shangles (a Scottish word for quarrels or rows, but taken from fights between dogs) with collies when we came near cottages.”

Get the Shimmy-Shangle mug.When you try to outdo someone in a deal, trade, or barter with crafty energy — not crooked, just slick. A shangle isn’t a scam; it’s the art of winning the deal while making the other person laugh (and maybe roll their eyes).
Origins:
Said to carry echoes of old-school Jewish trading slang, where bargaining was part sport, part comedy, and part survival. Think Yiddish chutzpah with street-market flair.
Usage:
“That guy tried to sell me the shoes for $80, but I shangled him down to $50 and free laces.”
“Don’t get mad, it’s just a little shangle — everybody walks away happy.”
“She pulled a classic shangle on me; I ended up buying two instead of one.”
Related: haggle, hustle, barter, finagle.
Pro-Tip:
If nobody’s laughing at the end, it wasn’t a shangle.
