It refers to petty swindling or a con. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it first appeared in print around the 1910s, associated with criminal underworld slang in the U.S. More recently, the term 'grifter' is frequently used as an online insult against people with whom someone disagrees.

Kelly Hansen to Leave FOREIGNER After 2025 Tour
Iconic rock band FOREIGNER's lead vocalist Kelly Hansen announced that he his leaving the group during a live segment on NBC's The Voice. For fans of the legendary rock group, it marks the end of a powerhouse era, one that helped keep FOREIGNER's classic hits alive for a new generation. After an incredible 20-year run with the band, Kelly Hansen shared he will leave following the 2025 summer tour, making way for guitarist and vocalist Luis Maldonado to take over as FOREIGNER frontman. Hansen joined FOREIGNER in 2005, bringing a fresh energy to the band's live performances. His powerful voice and iconic stage performance helped reintroduce the band's classic hits to a new generation. But during his emotional announcement, Hansen made it clear that he wanted to leave while the band was still at its peak. 'Being the voice of FOREIGNER has been one of the greatest honors of my life,' Hansen said. 'But it's time to pass the mic. Luis has the voice, the energy, and the soul to carry these songs into the future.' Over the years, Hansen has openly discussed the challenges of performing FOREIGNER's demanding songs night after night. In interviews, he stressed the importance of maintaining vocal quality and not overstaying his welcome. 'I don't wanna be in a position where I've seen other musicians and thought, 'Wow, that's really disappointing,'' Hansen admitted in a 2023 FOX17 Rock & Review interview. 'I want this band to go out on top with these songs being strong and that be the memory, not something lesser than they should be.' Taking over as lead singer is Luis Maldonado, a seasoned musician who has already proven himself as FOREIGNER's guitarist. Maldonado, who previously worked with TRAIN and Lisa Marie Presley, stepped in as lead vocalist during the band's South American tour, earning praise from fans and critics alike. Founding member Mick Jones expressed full confidence in the transition, saying, 'Kelly… breathed new life into our songs, and Luis… will soon lead the charge that will carry us forward to new heights.'

Splendid vistas, scars left by apartheid: Across South Africa on the luxury Blue Train
Stunning scenery is a given on The Blue Train, which travels between Pretoria and Cape Town. PHOTO: THE BLUE TRAIN – SOUTH AFRICA/FACEBOOK PRETORIA/CAPE TOWN, South Africa – The way South Africans use the phrase 'just now' perfectly encapsulates my ride on The Blue Train, an iconic luxury train which harks back to the days of the Orient Express. Unlike how Singaporeans use it to refer to the immediate past – 'I did the laundry just now' – those two words have an opposite meaning for my South African partner Guy.
