A way propagandists, liars, fraudsters, and their careless repeaters describe theft by banks via fraudulent contracts, that can severely impact municipalities, their residents, small businesses, their employees, and other victims. A word used to take some of the most damaging fraud of our time and make it seem as trivial as a cashier shorting you a nickel or accidentally switching your purchased mango with another customer's bananas. Akin to saying Al Capone was Mis-behaving.
Bob, "Banks have been mis-selling contracts (sometimes via bribes) designed to be far too complex for clients to understand, and to profit themselves greatly at the expense of their clients (victims), sometimes as a result of market information the bank doesn't share (those AAA mortgage-backed derivatives are sacks of shit), or direct market manipulations (LIBOR) by those very banks."
Tim, "Isn't that fraud?"
Bob, "Yes, but let's be gentlemen and call it mis-selling. Here, have an austerity cookie and a pat on the head."
Tim, "Nevermind my bankrupted municipality, crappy services (as there is little money left to pay for them), rising property taxes and rent (renters pay property taxes one step removed), or my being laid off from my job. I've got a cookie! Fuck ya!"

Get the Mis-sellingmug. Mexican slang.
Literal translation is my testicles but it’s used by men and women.
It can be used as a swear word but also to swear on something that’s a matter of great importance, ranked somewhere between merely promising something and swearing something on your mother as it’s your testicles or the next best thing you’re putting on the line.
As a swear word, it can simply be used to discredit someone who just said something you find silly and hard to believe. In the same sense, the person uttering it is also suggesting to some extent that something is so uncredible that they might as well put their balls on the table.

Mexico is going to win the world cup this time.
Mis huevos.
Think about it: There’s the home advantage and in the last two instances Mexico hosted it didn’t go to a european.
Are you sure?
Mis huevos.
*feigns belief by popping his mouth wide open for an indefinite amount of time as a demonstration of fake astonishment*

Get the Mis huevosmug. Kdmv kon mi jkj means I love you mama or I love you papa. It's one of the good Khmer words, and you can use it in front of your parents.
