Rort

Rort is a noun that refers to a fraudulent or dishonest act or practice.  The origin of our word of the day is unclear, but it’s often thought to be a mix of the words ‘report’ and ‘retort.’ Rort is a slang word that’s almost always used in an informal context. Here’s an example: Jeff was a good boss who generally did the right things, but he’s been known to have the occasional rort from time to time. The way he figured it, if you slave over the grill all day long, it’s no big deal if you take home a few burgers from time to time.
