Help! Scots slang to mean bad deal, rip off, etc.

[plunkplunkfizz]

I’m trying to remember a word my father (who was Scottish) used to say to indicate something he’d bought was a bad deal. It’s one of those ones where I have no idea what the word was, sounded like, what it began with and so on, but I feel I’ll know it as soon as I see it.

Can anyone help me?

Also never heard of it and I've lived in NE Scotland for 35 years. It's a new one to me

I’m NE of Scotland as well, I remember using swizz.

Weird. Dh from there, he's never heard of it either.

I heard swizz as a kid in Cornwall. Mind you, my gran was Scots so...
Our usage was different though - we'd always say such & such was a swizz, rather than we'd been swizzed. Same meaning but used about the item /deal/offer, rather than the person.
George MacDonald Fraser used swizz to mean stitch up /rip off /con in one of his stories & it doesn't get much more Scots than that...

Yy, Chinook. "It's a swizz".

Frequently: "Argh, swizz!"

I'm Scottish never heard anyone say swizz or swizzed. We would say bumped.

I've never heard of that! Shafted would be my go-to expression

ssd I've never heard of it either and my whole family are Glasgow

Coup though I do recognise

The Beano and Whizzer&Chips used "it's a swizz!" a lot. I'm Home Counties and we knew and used it.

Grew up in West Lothian, we'd say "what a swizz". Haven't used it in years mind!

yes v common to say swizzed.
didn't even realise it was a Scottish word

Also never heard of swizzed and would say bumped.

Only five packets in a six-pack bag - that's a Swizz!!

(near Edinburgh).

I use swizz too, I'm from all over the place!

It doesnt get called that often 😉 I've been in glasgow 6 years and still cant bring myself to call it Brigton.

I've heard of what a swizz being used. Meaning what a con.

My family use "what a swizz" a lot.

I’ve heard of swizz, not swizzled. I’m from the West coast of Scotland.

I'm from Belfast and we say 'what a swizz' all the time.

I love it!!

Never heard of swizz but surprised nobody has mentioned buying a pig in a poke

Is swizzled/swizz Scottish? Well I never knew that!

Ive heard of a swizz, being swizzed, im Midlands, my dad is from Glasgow.
Bumped we use alot here also.

Bumped is what we use for getting a bad deal

“ aw yuv been well bumped “

Never heard of Swizzed or swizz being used in Scotland , thought It was a posh Mallory towers type word “ ooh golly what a swizz that game of lacrosse was “
