Shill

Postby William A Hupy » Wed Aug 24, 2022 8:47 am

Is this a shortened version of shillaber? Meaning one who acts as a decoy for a gambler. Is it within the meaning to refer to a charlatan “shilling” for votes?

Don't all politicians have shills? I think they are called campaign managers now. Or advertising agencies. Same difference, no?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
