Yesterday I came across this funny word "to hornswoggle": "Don't let them hornswoggle you!" It means to cheat/trick/bamboozle/hoodwink someone: "Unknown, 1829 US, jocular coinage like contemporary absquatulate. Presumably horns + waggle with humorous faux ablaut or combination with wobble (compare later woggle, 1923), perhaps inspired by lassoed steers trying to escape by moving their head." (<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hornswoggle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hornswoggle</a>;). (Btw, absquatulate means to skedaddle. That should clear things up. ;) )

Funnily, when I asked my boys about "hornswoggle" they immediately told me that it's that "short Irish wrestler". "Hornswoggle" is the stage name of WWE wrestler Dylan Mark Postl (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornswoggle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornswoggle</a>;) who suffers from dwarfism and often impersonated a leprechaun on stage.
