JAG

Jag
verb \ˈjag\ (past tense: Jagged, present participle: Jagging)

To cheekily sell someone down the river for one’s own convenience, often with a winning smile and suspiciously good pitch.
To make a promise or commitment, only to very suavely wriggle out of it at the last second.
To enthusiastically overpromise and under-deliver—with the confidence of a 1980s salesman trying to sell you air.
Usage:

Etymology:
Inspired by Jag, a charming colleague whose actions—though not malicious—tend to result in others doing the heavy lifting. Much like a vintage infomercial, Jagging is smooth, persuasive, and occasionally leaves you wondering what just happened.

Synonyms:
Light sellout, friendly flake, accidental Houdini.

See also:
Sell down the river, make a clean exit, smooth talk.
"Oh come on, not again—I’ve been Jagged!”
“He said he’d sort the report, but he’s vanished like a puff of smoke. Classic Jag.”
