Freebooting 

Reposting someone else's content for your personal gain, without the creator's permission. Stealing views that would have otherwise gone to the creator.

Someone reposted my video to their YouTube channel, and now their copy went viral. I can't believe they're freebooting me like this!

Freenosing 

Freenosing is the act of leaving the house without covering one's face during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I can't believe she's out there, freenosing, after the CDC recommended always covering your face when you leave the house.

freesting

Making a meal or a snack from free samples offered at a supermarket.

As in "I don't count calories carbs/sugar/fat from freesting at Whole Foods." "H Mart is freesting sushi today." "I got drunk from freesting the wine at Trader Joes."

Freeboasting 

When one exaggerates or embellishes the extremity of their drug use for social gain.

"I took knife hits of MDMA last night, sh*t was cray"

"Bro, quit freeboasting."
