    Gall.

    Perhaps he made a typo as we all do?

    gull
    verb (used with object)
    1. to deceive, trick, or cheat.

    noun
    2. a person who is easily deceived or cheated; dupe.
    Origin
    1540-50; perhaps akin to obsolete gull to swallow, guzzle

    Synonyms
    1. cozen, dupe, fool, bamboozle, hoodwink

    Yes, it was originally a typo, but it just so happens to accidentally be an even better word than it would have been without the typo.

    Serendipitous usage is the most awesome usage.

    I have had mostly good results on INGO out of the 40 plus transactions

    The only bad deals I have had.

    1) Had a deal setup with a guy on a pistol. Price agreed on and we were working out the details to meet since the distance was pretty far away. We agreed to meet when he got back from vacation. I had passed on a couple deals better than the one we had on the same pistol while he was on vacation. I told him I would take it so I stood by my word.
    He got back from vacation then started getting squirrely on me. He finally let me know that he decided to sell it to someone else.

    2) Had a meet setup to trade for for some bullets. We had the meet setup and the guy told me on my trip to meet him that his kid was sick and couldn't meet. I called his bluff and told him I would come all the way to meet him.
    He let it slip during our meetup that he was hedging on the trade. The ole my kids sick line instead of being honest.

    Both guys are on my do not trade list.

    PM the user names to me my friend.
    Not to take action but to add them to my douche bag list.
    That list has grown a bit of late.
    There are some flakes around.

    That said there are some folks that will go above and beyond.

    will argue for sammiches.

    I absolutely agree. Marvelously serendipitous.

    Uncanny that oldpink was the one to post such a cool definition there, a deliciously hidden "troof" if you will.

    Somebody should quote this so he can see it. :):
