Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling (or gambling for higher than current stakes) with the hustler, as a form of confidence trick. It is most commonly associated with pool (and to an extent other billiards-family games), but also can be performed with regard to other sports and gambling activities. Hustlers may also engage in "sharking" – distracting, disheartening, enraging or even threatening their opponents, to throw them off. Hustlers are thus often called "pool sharks" (compare "card shark"). Professional and semi-pro hustlers sometimes work with a "stakehorse" — a person who provides the money for the hustler to bet with (and who may assist in the hustling) — in exchange for a substantial portion of all winnings. Another form of hustling (often engaged in by the same hustlers who use the skill-disguising technique) is challenging "marks" (swindle targets) to bet on trick shots that seem near-impossible but at which the hustler is exceptionally skilled.

Hosteria

The panic caused by the news that Hostess has declared bankruptcy, resulting in chaos at grocery and convenience stores in an effort to get the last Twinkie, etc.

The Hosteria at Ralph's was so crazy that I just left without picking up my groceries this weekend.

Hostile Takeover

When you take control of a business situation by forcing your way in because it isn't up to par with your company's standards, or you buyout or buy in to a company in order to take control of it, often done by the company's competition in order to either shut it down or forcibly make it an asset or ally.

Person: Why does the sign outside say "under new management"?

Person 2: Hostile takeover, they swooped in and booted the old guys.
