blagger
Smooth-talking deceiver
A blagger is someone who gets things through persuasion, deception, or sheer nerve.
In British slang, blagging ranges from talking your way into a party to more serious fraud—obtaining information or access under false pretenses.
The word can also mean an armed robber, though this sense is dated.
He blagged his way past security with a fake press badge.
