Noun.
Historical definition:
During the Napoleonic wars, due to the lack of able seamen, sailors were recruited (press-ganged) by being paid a sign up fee - 1 King's Shilling.
Reluctant conscripts would be approached by one or more 'recruiters' who would ply them with alcohol until they were totally drunk. They would then hit them over the head with a 'cudgel' and place a King's Shilling in the drunkard's pocket. The inebriate would then be carried on board where they were woken up and convinced that they had joined in good faith. Any argument against the join would be discredited by the discovery of the King's Shilling.
Modern Usage
Discreet gay proposition.

Get the kobe kingmug. A mythical being from the legendary town of Kosamba, where chhapris roam free and the WiFi still runs on goodwill. The Kosamba King is a rare breed—a brute with the face of a genetically confused mouse-monkey hybrid, yet somehow, against all odds, a coding god. He fled the rural trenches to Bangalore, where he stacks more rupees than the entire GDP of Kosamba, yet his heart (and playlist) remain stuck in the gully rap era.
Despite looking like an AI-generated gangster rat, he is revered as the wealthiest and most successful export of Kosamba. His mere existence is proof that even the most chhapri soil can produce a billionaire in the making.

Bro, he just pulled up in a BMW wearing knockoff Jordans and blasting Indian mawali rap—absolute Kosamba King behavior.
