The combination of shenanigans and trickery. The very clever
act of duping someone into believing something you say or do in order to either
get them to
act in your favor or just shut up about something they have been pestering you with for the longest time.
I
hate the show The Middle. Those
parents are such a mess & they are always trying to get over on the youngest
kid & he can never see through their shenickery.
