Yeah this person said so much stuff to me when he/she texted me last night like "you are so beautiful we need hangout right now!" The next day I saw him/her in class and all he/she said was "hey". Such a confident texter.

Get the condiment king mug.A confidence trick is the use of confidence by someone when answering a question, and because of the confidence they evoke in the other person the answer is determined to be true. A good confidence trick can make anyone believe (nearly) anything because of the confidence the other person exudes whether it is true or false. The use of a confidence trick is used most by highly intelligent people because you need to be witty and the fact that you are playing off of what the person knows, and can know.
Confidence Trick
(After sneaking into the gym of an apartment that one does not live in)
Worker- "Do you live in this apartment complex because in order to use the gym you must live her?"
(True name)Brad(All said in perfect vocal pitch)"Yes I live in apartment 2234(a true apartment, though not his), my name is Joey Mathers (fake name) I don't have my keys because my friend just went back to the apartment to get his running shoes"
Worker- (After seeing the confidence the person is exuding and deciding its not worth it to check the computer) "Ok Joey thank you"
Brad-"No thank you!"

Get the confidence mug.The confidence one obtains by driving in a Jeep when you normally lack that in an everyday social setting. The biggest losers can ride in a Jeep and still obtain coolness just by the Jeep association. Giving the Jeep wave, head nod, and smile to passing Jeeps also helps you gain that extra cool confidence one normally lacks.
Eddie had Jeep confidence and was able to pick up some girls sipping Coca-Cola slurpies at the local 7-11 while getting gas. With that Jeep confidence he used the pick up line "So you wanna GO TOPLESS in my Jeep," and to his surprise they took off thier tops and jumped in. Wow! Jeep confidence works magic in scoring with the oppiste sex!
