| | Mark (victim) - definition of Mark (victim) in Encyclopedia |
| | This is an underground slang term that evolved amongst swindlers because the intended victim was said to be "marked" for the sting. | | | In some instances the victim would literally be marked; such was a practice among traveling crooked carnival game mobs who were known to hit towns, set up an amusement park and leave after a few days. | | | The real purpose of the gesture was to leave a dusty chalk mark, or a sticker, that operators of other games would recognize to mean that this mark has particularly good potential. |
