OP just learned what the 'con' in 'con man' is short for.

Are you shitting me right now?

I'd be funny if he were, but no. "Con man" really is short for "confidence man."

It's not actually about the scammer 'being confident,' though; it's about the scammer winning the mark's trust.

Or you could say it's about winning their mark's removes sunglasses confidence.

One day someone will have this same reaction to the word "rizz"

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I had this reaction while playing Baldurs Gate. I knew what it meant to "rizz" someone but didn't know where it came from. I had a high DC charisma check and, after passing it, said, "I rizzed em with my charisma! Ohh..."
