👉 In the context of a negotiation, "peddled" typically refers to something being sold or traded with deceit or under duress. It implies that the person offering the service is using their position and leverage to make a profit, rather than genuinely providing the services they claim to be able to offer. This term can also be used metaphorically in situations where one party has offered something of value but then becomes unwilling to give it back due to pressure or exploitation.
