leecher

A leecher is a person on some type of internet community (torrent, forums, ect.) who downloads as they please and never contributes back to that community. Often characterized by low post counts or having nothing in their shared folder. Leechers steal a network's bandwidth with downloads and potentially can cause it to lag. Derived (obviously) from the parasite with many similarities to a Leecher.

Wring out the leeches

To 'Wring out the leeches' is to spend time solving a problem. Said problem will often 'suck the life' out of you- hence the use of leeches as the explanatory word for problem. Wringing out the leeches is also used to describe an impending argument over an issue with a mate. Phrase is said with much trepidation and detest for the action.

Carly: "Nana- it's GAME NIGHT! do you want to come to SigEp with me for Beirut"

Nana: "Oh, Carly! I can't! I've been having a few issues with my Man. We really need to wring out the leeches."

Carly: "Ouch, no wonder you've been so drained- All Right, we'll party next time"
