👉 Chicanery is a term that refers to an act or behavior that exploits one's own social position, status, or wealth. It often involves manipulating people to get what they want, whether it be money, power, or other resources. Chicanery can range from small-scale acts like stealing or using someone else's property without their consent to larger-scale schemes that involve exploiting others in a way that benefits the perpetrator at the expense of those who are exploited.
