shakedown

(n.)

Another word for extortion/blackmail, or the obtaining of a good or service through means of force, threats/intimidation, or abuse of power.

Shakedown by force, threats and intimidation:

The Mafia would usually give small business owners "the shakedown," in which if the owner did not pay protection money (or "tribute") to the Mafia Don, their store would mysteriously be firebombed by vandals (read: Mafia thugs) who presumably would have been deterred if the owner had opted to partake in the Mafia protection plan.

Shakedown by abuse of power:

City councils are notorious for shakedowns by abuse of power. Suppose you bought a house for an inflated price of $50000, before property values started declining. The state wants to build a highway, and decides that your house is in the way. You don't want to move, but they offer you $25000 to pack up and leave. If you don't leave, the council will employ the eminent domain laws, which will simply *force* you to leave and *force* you to accept a measly compensation of $15000 (fair market value) for your property. While such practice is actually legal, it's still a shakedown, because if you don't agree to their initial unreasonable demands, you're going to be even worse off as a consequence--just like debating whether you want to drown in your own piss, or someone else's.

Shanty Shakedown

The act in which a coke whore or any cocaine addicted female places a generous amount of cocaine on the tip of the males penis. The female relentlessly likes the tip of the penis dousing the dick in saliva and cocaine. The man can then last extended amounts of time while plowing his coke whore girl friend. When the man finally finishes he feeds the female a heavy dose of cum and cocaine mixture by placing his cocaine induced load on the tip of her tongue thus sharing his load with his mate as they both experience a numbing sensation in their genitalia.

The sweet indian girl gave her white nympho boyfriend a Shanty Shakedown. sex lasted for 2 numbing hours.

Intersectional Shakedown

Protection racket where disadvantaged groups, whether real or perceived, sell protection from false hate accusations for concessions from others.

What?! They wouldn't accept you in to college because your test scores are bad? Just give them the intersectional shakedown and tweet that it was racism, sexism and homophobia.
