Get the Piggybackingmug. The act of trying to get into a subway station without paying. The name originates from the method, in that someone will wait for another passenger to pay, and when the gates open, the other person will immediately walk in right behind them so the gates don't close immediately. This only works with fare gates that open and close automatically, and not turnstiles.
The word is believed to have originated in Boston, where the act became more common after the MBTA increased fare prices.

As I was going into the subway station today, someone bumped into me from behind. When I turned around, the transit cops were giving him a ticket for piggybacking.

Get the piggybackermug. It was too hard to get her legs far enough apart, so piggybacking was the only option that would work.

Get the piggybackingmug. Taking advantage of the roommate dish-washing routine.
When your roommate has not yet washed their pot or pan, and it is still clean enough to swish water in and cook your own meal. You then leave it where you found it so they can wash it.
Only legitimate if the roommate is unaware of your use.

I've been piggybacking Sarah's pasta pot for a week, and it hasn't moved. I'm pretty sure we're just piggybacking each other at this point.
