shanghaiing

It is, of course, an invitation to a shanghaiing.

The American propensity for lexical shanghaiing has produced a new type of morpheme, the bound and gagged morpheme.

Other terms that describe the recruitement of laborers, and that may have similarities to slavery are Blackbirding, Impressment and Shanghaiing.
