Etymology
Formed from 'foist' plus the adjective suffix '-y' meaning having the quality of. This rare adjective describes someone with a tendency toward con-artist behavior.
Kelly Says
Calling someone 'foisty' was a way to mark them as unreliable con artists without quite saying 'criminal'—it was the street language of Elizabethan London, capturing a suspicious personality type.
