He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard!

Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof, and I saved him! I shouldn't have, I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change!

What a sick joke! I should have stopped him when I had the chance. And you- you have to stop him, you...
Hybrid term melding "shabby chic" and "chicanery."
shabby chic:
a style using worn and deteriorated items to achieve an elegant overall effect
chicanery:
trickery or deception by quibbling or sophistry
Shabby chicanery:
Constant failed attempts at using second-hand items in one's home decor to achieve a look of false elegance. Result is invariably much more Salvation Army than Apres-La-Guerre.
