Scrounging

British slang for obtaining goods and services without having to pay for them. The word can be used in two rather different ways:
1 If it is for personal advantage then the word has certain negative implications, that the person doing the

scrounging is not wholly trustworthy;
2 If it is to further a project at work or to obtain goods, materials or money for a charity then there can be a certain

amount of admiration.

1 “I see Jan’s mumping drinks again.”

“What a scrounging old fart she is.”
2 “How did you get the job finished so quickly?

“Johnny went out scrounging and brought back some brand new 2 x 1 someone had dumped in a skip.”

A militant offshoot of The Lounge forums. No one can quite say why it was formed, but it is strictly a mong free zone.

The Scrounge, it's got to be better than work.

scrounge

To obtain something by means of clever and resourceful investigation and surreptitious action. The careful and prudent scrounger never reveals his sources, or whether the scrounged object was stolen or merely liberated from its surroundings.

A scrounger is an important and valued person in prison camps, jails, and college dormatories.

The Captain sent Sergeant Bates out to scrounge for a camera and some film.
