Badger Game

A version of the Murphy Game, a confidence trick used to gain money and valuables from a victim. Basically a combination of extortion and strong arm robbery.

A male and female team carries out this con. The female entices a male mark, preferably a married business man, to come back to her apartment or hotel room. The mark thinks he is going to have sexual relations with her. She gets her victim to start disrobing.

At some point her male accomplice (often her boyfriend or husband) bursts into the room (outside door, from another room, or a closet). He threatens to beat up the victim and/or to tell his wife if he doesn't hand over his money and possibly any jewelry in his possession.
The detective wasn't buying the victim's story about being held up in a dark alley. He knew a local bar fly and her boyfriend were using the badger game to rob out of town businessmen like this poor slob.

Badger

Whilst this may be a noun for the little black and white animal that sniffles amongst leaves, nibbles on earthworms and digs muddy holes at nighttime, the word 'badger' has an entirely alternate definition in another context. This word can be used to describe anyone who is caught sneaking around other people's business where they're not wanted and joining in on other people's banter of which he does not comprehend. Using the terms 'badgery' and 'badgering' also carry the same meaning.
Person L: "I've fookin had enough of that little badgery boy Steven joining in on our banter"
Person J: "I know exactly what ya mean mate, he's always badgering around in our business ennit"
