That's Where I Got My Style From




FLIMFLAM

noun

-nonsensical or insincere talk
   -a confidence game.

verb

-swindle (someone) with a confidence game.

Etymology- a "symbolic reduplication" (says Google)


I thought it would have come from the word flimsy but it turns out it might be the other way around. Flimsy comes from flimflam.

FLIMFLAM!
