Hokkani boro, also called hakk'ni panki, is a term in the Romani language for "the great trick" or a con artist's scam. Hokkani boro is often practiced to gain a client's trust and then his or her money. The term is also known as "hokkeny bāro". It refers to any of several methods used to bilk someone of their money, and may be the origin of "hanky-panky" in the English language to mean shady dealings, trickery, etc.
