/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "GAHR" (as in "garden") + "seh" (as in "set") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "ah" (as in "art") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "geh" (as in "get")/

Meaning

In Argentina, to fall for a fake-out or a bluff, to be misled by a false move. Originally from soccer, where the amague is a feint that fools the opponent, the phrase jumped into everyday speech to describe any moment of being deceived.

Examples

Do not fall for the fake, he is pretending he does not care.
