👉 The term "inchest" is a slang term that refers to the act of stealing or taking something without permission, often from someone else. It originated in the United States during the late 19th century as a way to describe the act of stealing money from another person's pocket without their knowledge or consent. The term has since become more widely used and is now associated with the act of luring others into committing theft by threatening them with immediate consequences if they do not comply.
