I actually meant “fore-flusher” lol! Like in “flushing ahead”, Which I think goes back to a time when men hunted for quail and such. A fore-flusher was one who shot early or scared the birds before anyone else could get off a shot.

(Now you have me searching for the real meaning.) Be back in a few...... now I’m curious.

You were right, the term is Four-flushing which means to be dishonest, stems from card playing and bluffing, not a good term.

Thanks for inspiring me to look into it. So my description of Romney still stands! (I guess my old version worked for Romney also)

Thought it was “four flusher” as in someone bluffed at Stud Poker by a hand that is one “hole” card shy of a true “Flush.”
Who would bet against FOUR spades/hearts/diamonds/clubs showing without a really good hand?
Getting “four flushed” in the Old West caused a lot of gunfire.
