Subject: Phrases

Growing up in a American /German neighborhod, I heard many English/German phrases
that included both English and German words.  My parents, Grandparents, Uncles,
Aunts...etc spoke German amongst themselves but only English to the children. 
Too bad... :-(( ...but that's the way it was.  A phrase I heard included the word
"hornschwagel".
I'm spelling it the best I can since I've never seen it written.  It means that
you have been cheated (hornschwageled) in, perhaps, a business deal.  That is,
you received less than what you bargained for.  Does anyone else know of this
word?  Is it an Anglicized word from German?  Was dinks du?
