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

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.
