Joshing

The act of screwing someone over badly - having concealed your true motives by lying and keeping secrets, then suddenly dropping the bomb out of the blue. Joshing is a specific kind of deceit where you try to blame other people by using their outrage as incriminating evidence while getting rid of any evidence pointing to you.
Honorary mention just popped up in xkcd comics.

Famous people who claim to have been "Joshed" include O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake.
Dude 1: O.J. Simpson totally did it!
Dude 2: No man, he was totally Joshed! Can't you see it's all just a big conspiracy to keep black actors out of Hollywood?

Dude 1: Wow, man. My boss kept telling me I would keep my job, but he just fired me out of the blue and then used my angry response to justify it to my co-workers.
Dude 2: Damn, that's a bad piece of Joshing!!

Joshed

The act of befriending a male in order to establish a relationship with a friend or acquaintance he has contact with.
"I've been Joshed! It turns out that the new girl Kathy was friendly to me, just to get to my friend Kosta."

“I’m sorry Mark that I kept my relationship with your friend Spiro a secret, we wanted to wait and see if the relationship became serious before we told you. I just don’t want you to feel that you were Joshed.”
