Palsource 

The behavior of habitually requesting a friend or acquaintance to make a small purchase (drink, candy bar, pack of cigarettes) on one's behalf, with the implication that the act will be reciprocated, while in fact the implied reciprocation is unlikely to take place - knowingly or unknowingly.

John is such a leech, always palsourcing smokes.

Parasource

A source of information that is not considered reliable by mainstream academic or journalistic standards but is trusted within a specific subculture, community, or alternative epistemology. Examples include oral traditions, channeled texts, leaked documents with no provenance, anonymous whistleblowers, or social media influencers. Parasources are often dismissed as “not a real source” in formal debates. However, their users argue that mainstream sources are biased and that parasources provide hidden truths. The term is used critically to call out dubious references: “That’s not a source; it’s a parasource – a blog with no editorial oversight.” In some contexts, “parasource” is reclaimed by marginalized groups who reject institutional gatekeeping.

Example: “He cited a Telegram channel as evidence. She said: ‘That’s a parasource – no author, no verification, no accountability. I can’t accept it.’ He replied: ‘Mainstream media is also biased. Parasources are the only way to get uncensored information.’”
