Beat slang - to live by one's wits, not by a gig, usually prostitution or dealing drugs. Synonym: scuffle.

Also a disco dance, also to trick someone into making a bet against you in a game of skill when you initially trick them into believing that you are far worse at it than you actually are.

hustle : noun - a term from sports to describe a player's wholehearted given effort despite the situation.

If a player scrambles to get the ball and shows his/her true desire to win, the coach might say "nice hustle!"

If a team is losing, and they are therefore slow to run, making stupid mistakes and stopped giving 100%, a fan would say "this team has no hustle."
