entuber
What does “entuber” mean in English?
It means to cheat or swindle someone. The literal translation refers to putting a tube in, which adds a somewhat crude layer to the expression.
Literally “put a tube in”
You might hear it in informal contexts when someone feels they've been ripped off, similar to saying someone got 'screwed' or 'shafted' in English. It's a bit vulgar, so use it with caution.
