macking

Hitting on someone

Macking is flirting or making romantic advances, typically with confident, smooth-talking style.

From mack, slang for a pimp or skilled seducer: He was macking on her all night.

The word suggests charm that's part genuine attraction, part performance—working someone with practiced ease rather than awkward sincerity.
