Beluga Whaling

To sneak onto the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) without paying. Originated from the song 'Baby Buluga' by Raffi as the extended jam (I know you've heard that one) contains a reference to stealing a ride.

"Baby Beluga in the deep blue see,
He snuck on to the TTC for free"
- Raffi (1980)

Recently the definition has been expanded to include stealing anything under $3.25 (the cash fare to ride the TTC).

Adam: Ugh. I don't have any change for the TTC. I guess I'll have Beluga Whaling it today. (Original meaning)

Adam: I don't have a pen. I guess I'll have to go Beluga Whale one from Stacy in accounting (new modified meaning)
