俚语 chickanery
释义

chickanery

Using attractive females to do your dirty work and deceive others.
Professional or "career" criminals often employ innocent-looking damsels to either do some of the actual stealing for them or merely "case the joint" (i.e., scope out a prospective place of business that they plan to rob), because sweet-faced ladies are automatically less scrutinized or viewed with suspicion than their make counterparts. Big Tobacco had also used chickanery for decades by showing photos of attractive women smoking in their advertisements for their coffin-nails, just as was done with comparably-dangerous wares like alcoholic beverages and shoddy vehicles.
