GAFFLE: To rip someone off,To get someones money by deceit. To scam someone for their money by creating a ploy.To get over on a person or persons. Its an old slang term used in the early part of the 20th century.Depicted in the movie "The Sting". It was picked up again in the Bay Area in the 1980's(mainly Oakland I believe).
Personally, I consder "gaffle" similar to how people use pwned today, e.g. "You got gaffled" or simply, "pwned." It was a favorite of Ice Cube, whose proclivity for using the word made it synonomous with selling out, thus owing to its inevitable downfall.
