/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

I fell for the bluff and responded when I should not have.

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

Regional synonyms
