I think that should be 'to palm off' and I'm pretty sure you meant 'to 
persuade' rather than 'persuaded.' Just for the record.

No, before doing that I should contact my health insurance
adviser.

Mai sentito in italiano il termine "sdoganare" riferito a una persona.
Io in genere lo uso riferito ad una usanza, una forma artistica o una
convenzione sociale, per indicare che da una ristretta nicchia di
persone è stata divulgata al grande pubblico.
Ad esempio: i Lynyrd Skynyrd hanno sdoganato il southern rock al di
fuori degli USA.

 fuori degli USA.
A simple lookup in an Italian-American dictionary results in "to clear 
(through customs). That's the term used in English to refer to having 
been approved by il doganiere.
However, the figurative uses in Italian appear to be better served by 
the term suggested by guisy, 'legitimize'. And, as I read some other 
contextual examples as indicated below, there may be some situations in 
which "to free" would be the translation of choice.

I tried but my neighbours protested worse than when I was trying

io si. Berlusconi ha sdoganato Fini. Comunque, essendo linguaggio figurato, non
sempre si trovano soluzioni perfette in altre lingue...

Agreed. :)

 Agreed. :)
You can say in English "Berlusconi legitimized Fini" and it would mean, 
in a figurative sense, that Berlusconi had made Fini, himself, a figure 
who is more acceptable as a serious political personality to the 
mainstream public.
Too bad for him that his power to legitimize does not also extend to age 
restrictions.

 to play a violin.
lol, ok then you've got dispensation.

Okay, it's making me crazy. CRAZY, I tell you. :)
I have no trouble pronouncing it, but I don't find it in my Dutch-
English dictionary, and other than 'nosy noses mustard pot" I can't for 
the life of me figure out what it's supposed to mean.
(And yes, I can pronounce 'Scheveningen.')

It was also posted in luig. it here a copy:
That is a funny expression ma solo in fiamminga.
(quando era giovane, parlavo anche fiamminga e usavo questa espressione 
spesso)
You can use it for somebody who is curious.
curieuze = curious one (nieuwsgierig would be another Dutch word for 
it)
n = just a way to connect words, a liaison, or to make it plural
neuzen = plural for neus, which means nose
mosterdpot = mustard pot. I am not sure of the origine of this word in 
this particular expression, it could be from navigation, shipping or 
just from home.
In Dutch we would say: 'nieuwsgierig Aagje'. (Curious Aagje) Aagje is 
the name of a woman from a book written in the 17th century.
It would be rare if you could pronounce Scheveningen, so far I heard 
only Belgiums and Dutch proumounce it perfectly :).
You pronounced with a soft or hard g?

Basically the equivalent of "Nosy Parker." There are multiple 
possibilities for the origin of that.
First pronunciation of "Scheveningen."
