Shafted

Being screwed over or thrown under a bus by one you once trusted. Left with a deep feeling of being wronged.

shafted

The idea comes from the practice when two girls go down on a guy. Since both girls cannot pleasure the head of the penis at the same time, one girl is forced to take the shaft of the dick. Hence, the word shaft or shafted referring to being screwed into a lesser deal or something not as desired.

man, i really got the shaft with these english groups.

Damn, you really got shafted when Leslie left you for Stan.

the Shaft

An awesome drink that you can order only in Lake Louise at the B&G (only bar in town). Kahlua, vodka, coffee, cream, sugar.

The Shaft is my favorite drink in the world.

Let's get shafted tonight.
