Well, I learnt a new Americanism today. Fence, verb, meaning to shift stolen goods.
Upon first read I thought they would be sword fighting with stolen bluetooth speakers.

- Suppafly 1y ago>Fence, verb, meaning to shift stolen goods. Does it not also have that meaning in commonwealth countries?
- walthamstow 1y agoI'd never heard it before, from googling it seems to be antiquated language in Britain.
- Symbiote 1y agoI (British) am familiar with the term, especially as a verb like "fencing stolen goods". You can find British newspapers reporting this in the last decade. The legal term since 1968 seems to be "Handling Stolen Goods", which might have made the word "fencing" less common: https://mcgeemcgeeagarlaw.co.uk/criminal-defence/handling-stolen-goods-solicitors/ https://mcgeemcgeeagarlaw.co.uk/criminal-defence/handling-st...
