rooked
Taken for everything
Rooked means cheated or swindled, typically out of money: I got rooked on that used car.
The word comes from rook, a card-game term for a cheat or swindler.
It's informal and somewhat old-fashioned, suggesting being taken advantage of through deception rather than force.
