flam

v. To attempt to insult (or flame) the wrong person, i.e. someone who turns out to have way more control of a situation than it would seem from the outside.

If a mobster found him or herself at a party and proceeded to insult another one of the partygoers, only to find out later that the other partygoer turned out to be the new D.A. with a mad-on for mobsters, this would be considered a flam.
