жарг.симулировать; лодырничать ( отсюда lead-swinger) [этим. мор. бросать лот]Even from a cursory inspection he felt convinced that Chenkin had no nystagmus. He was well aware, apart from Gadge's hint, that some of these old pitmen "swung the lead on 'stagmus", drawing compensation money to which they were not entitled for years on end. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Citadel’, book II, ch. 4) — Даже беглый осмотр убедил его, что у Ченкина нет никакого нистагма.

XXX VI) — - Папаша - человек исключительной честности, он никогда не пойдет на подлость и никогда не будет отлынивать от работы под предлогом болезни. - Я тоже этого никогда не делал, - резко сказал Бар.
