Get the subdafudge mug.Refers to a seemingly-beneficial/praiseworthy action that you perform in order to cover up a past/present transgression.
Three classic examples of a virtuous-action subterfuge would be:
(1) Pretending to be cleaning up litter along a roadside, in a park, or in some other public area, and then disposing of your bags of collected trash in a nearby dumpster; in reality, of course, you merely picked up just a very few pieces of discarded trash during periods when others were looking --- the bags of trash you're carrying are mostly YOUR OWN household garbage that you're disposing of for free in someone else's dumpster, rather than paying for your own trash-disposal.
(2) Pretending to be helpfully delivering bags of groceries to a tenant of a "wrinkle city" apartment-complex; as in Example #1, however, those bulging shopping-bags are merely still-new-looking shopping-sacks that you've carefully saved from previous grocery-shopping trips and then filled with your own trash; your confederate apartment-tenant later quietly disposes of said bags in the complex's waste-bin along with his own garbage.
(3) Pretending to be cleaning/dusting a certain area of a room, whereas in reality you are covering up the fact that you either have meddled with something you weren't supposed to touch, or currently wish to do so. By cleaning the entire area that the “off-limits” object is occupying, it would seem natural for you to move/handle the object itself in the course of your cleaning, and so no observers will think twice about your harmlessly displacing the item "just to clean around/underneath it".

Get the Subterfuge mug.Subterfuge can refer to the upcoming song Sonic Legacy (guised under the name RodentRap), the official Friday Night Funkin' mod for Sonic.EXE. Subterfuge is set in the third chapter of the 2017 Sonic.exe remake with slight alterations made by Raven, composed by Honkish, and featuring a retake on JC the Hyena's 2017 remake of Sonic.exe named "Sonic," an delusional entity who thinks he's Sonic the Hedgehog, commonly referred to as 2017X by fans, as the opponent and Miles "Tails" Prower as the playable character during Subterfuge. There is also a lyrical cover of Subterfuge, with the lyrics written by Raven with assistances from both Sturm and SunkerMacgunker, and the lyrics sung by someone that is currently unknown.
Due to "Sonic"/2017X being an delusional entity who thinks he's Sonic the Hedgehog, as revealed by Raven on Twitter, he gets overly emotional, or more accurately, aggravated, when one refuses to believe that he IS Sonic the Hedgehog, he literally breaks down, with his "broken face" being a result of that, as he wants to be THE Sonic the Hedgehog, which in itself, is a Subterfuge.
