Greeking

gree-king (′grēk·iŋ)

verb*

1. Displaying format without the character. Giving the hint of what something is, without showing you what it is, especially in film.
Greeking is what Charlie Sheen pretends to do, when he conceals the beverage he's drinking on Sheen's Korner in a lament that the manufacturers haven't paid him for advertising it - not because he's actually drinking alcohol and is afraid to show his fans that he didn't blink and change his brain.

Synonyms: conceal, obfuscate.
