street hustle
Urban con game
Street hustle is the resourcefulness and drive needed to make money outside conventional employment—selling goods, running small schemes, or finding informal work.
It implies scrappy entrepreneurship born of necessity: He learned street hustle growing up in the projects.
The term carries respect for survival skills and self-reliance, though it can shade into illegal activity.
Someone with street hustle knows how to spot opportunities and close deals in environments where formal credentials don't matter.
