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.”

Within scrolling distance 

When the information you wanna access from a particular webpage is only a little bit further down the page from where you are. This means that it is close enough for you to be bothered enough to scroll down the page and access it quickly. It is therefore said to be 'within scrolling distance'
"I can't see where to type in my email address"
"That's because it's further down the page, but don't worry, it's within scrolling distance"
