I met a fellow from South America a few months ago who used the term zafar. This thread has led me to uncover its meaning: http://wallys.org/diccQZ.html#Q

I love this part: "One of the most representative words of contemporary Argentine culture. The concept is to get by with as little effort as possible and enjoy yourself if you can. In order to do so, one may have to resort to representing the facts in a creative way, bending the rules, or putting on a bit of an act."
