(n.) Fugaze, Fugaze·s (v) Fugaz·ed, Fugaz·ing
To scam or to rip off something or someone. A deal that benefits only one person - the fugazer.
The art of getting things (or your way) so that the benefits rest heavily in your favour and that the other side loses out.
A systematic plan to get your way: "Oo did you end up fugazing that clerk to get the beer 50% off ?"
A devious plan; gain something for yourself at another's cost: "Mingia bro you still working on that fugaze to get free balls out of that billiardini table"
--- Etymology (Derived from) ---
Donnie Brasco (Movie - 1997) | From American-Italian slang Fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory. (slang) Artificial, fake, false. Can be in reference to a thing or person. If a person it is usually in reference to a shady or superficial person. Also, something that has very little substance or intrinsic value.
