Gazumping
Posted by Pdianek on November 18, 2003
I looked in the archives, no mention of this weird word. What's its origin? In context, from the Guardian: "...evidence of a return of eighties- and late-nineties-style gazumping -- when a seller ditches an agreed buyer in favour of a higher offer from a rival purchaser -- in parts of west London."
