Bandera de Argentina

/tra-GAR-se el a-MA-ge/

To fall for a fake-out or deception. In soccer the amague is the false move a player makes, and in everyday Argentine life swallowing the amague means falling for someone's bluff.

Example

"I fell for the fake and moved when I shouldn't have."

"Don't swallow the bait, he's just pretending to be interested."
