A sticky, unpleasant mouthful that is spat out, much like the sticky unpleasant boiled sweets manufactured by Mars Ltd until the 1980s, but frequently used to describe spunk.

Get the Spangle mug.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".
