mooching

In the UK mooching means going for a walk (usually looking for somewhere to eat) often while drunk and/or stoned.

In the US mooching is one person taking advantage of another.

(Two guys drunk in a tent in England)

John: "Where's Dave gone?"

Jack: "He went mooching off in that direction a couple of minutes ago"

(Two guys talking about friend's girlfriend in America)

John: "Dave's just bought his girlfriend a new car"

Jack: "She's just mooching off him coz he's rich"
