Politricks Edit Meaning

1.

originally a Jamacian term meaning exactly what it sounds like--politicians tricking the public and playing games. (I won't name names here since I think this site should be for definitions, not opinions, but I'm sure some will come to mind)

sort of like "downpressor" instead of oppressor

or "shitstem" instead of "system"

Bob Marley used these terms, along with countless other reggae artists.
