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.

Get the star spangled and mangled mug.The never-released 1981 porn flick starring John Holmes as President Ronald Reagan, screened privately every Fourth of July for a handful of top-tier Republicans at The Bohemian Grove, their tightly-guarded summer enclave in the Northern California Redwoods.
He'd figured it was an urban legend, but there it was, July 4th in the Grove's outdoor amphitheater, "Star Spangled Boner".
