hustles
Works with urgency
Hustles covers energetic effort and deceptive schemes.
To hustle is to move quickly or push aggressively: She hustled the kids out the door.
In sports, hustle means relentless effort: He's not the most talented, but he hustles.
The shadier sense involves swindling or aggressive selling: street hustlers, hustling pool for money.
As a noun, a hustle is a scheme or scam, or the daily grind of making money: the side hustle.
