mark
587 up, 124 down
noun. A person identified as an easy target, or "sucker". A mark is always the short end of a joke or scam, and is never let in on whats going on. A mark is usually being cheated out of money. It's origin is from old English traveling carnivals from the late 1800s to early 1900s, where workers would refer to people paying to see thier made up shows and games a "mark". not from urban gangsters like most people think. Mark is also the origin to the term "smark" or "smart mark" which is a person who know's he/she is being scamed.

The origin of this is rumoured to be that when the ticket seller/doorman carnie noticed that a visitor was carrying a lot of cash in his wallet, he would pat him on the back while palming a piece of chalk, leaving a mark on the wealthy visitor's back. Thus the pickpockets knew who to target.
