hornswoggled

Tightly restrained; secured, unable to move. Barely able to wiggle.

Well, I'll be hogtied and hornswoggled!
Obviously refers to cowboys roping and throwing calfs or cows, securing the rope to the saddle horn (hornswoggled)and tying three of their legs together with the 'pigging string'.
