fakir -- 1. a wandering beggar who performs various sleights of hand and tricks such as coaxing snakes out of baskets (in India). 2. fem. the role played by a woman who tries to make her husband think he's better than he really is, see n.b. 3. male. a young man who goes around boasting about his numerous (entirely fictional) amorous escapades, see n.b.

n.b. -- fakir, not to be mistaken for fakee, which refers to any naive chump who actually falls for the fakir's nonsense....;-}>
