Thanks for the link, McGrath. ======= If offers this:
blag: v wheedle; bluff; wangle: "I managed to blag a ride to work." Or: "I had no idea what I was talking about but I think I managed to blag it." ======== Now, is there really a slang word 'wangle'? Because I would say 'wrangle,' a word which may be derived from horse-handling.
My husband was just lamenting that his Wrangler jeans are wearing out.
