1877: Flim Flam
Flimflam Etymology, Iran Memorandum, and Digital Signatures
The term "flimflam" is defined as 16th-century deceptive nonsense during a breakdown of the proposed US-Iran memorandum of understanding. The BBC reports that while President Trump expects a Sunday signing, Iranian officials remain cautious to avoid giving ammunition to domestic hardliners. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif suggests the deal may be signed digitally, potentially depriving Trump of a traditional photo opportunity.
