Inveigle- Way Back Wednesday

Inveigle- to entice via flattery

Ex: The salesman at Home Depot inveigled the local dad into buying a $2000 grill with many words of praise about his grilling prowess. “These other guys in your neighborhood, they’re grilling sausages too, but are they really sealing in the juices like you are? I bet not. You strike me as a guy that can eyeball a medium rare from across his deck. Let me guess, I hit the nail on the head? I’m also assuming you’re a staunch believer in the only-open-to-flip-or-remove rule of grilling burgers? I had a feeling. There’s no way a seasoned pit boss like you would try such a rookie maneuver. So, I’m guessing you’re going to want something more, shall we say…top of the line?”
