When a game is, self explainatory, free to play. Generally F2P (abberiviation) games have a Free mode, and a Premium mode, which costs money but has benefits over Free mode. Games that do not have a Premium mode are supported by DLC (such as Team Fortress 2) and might have more benefits just for buying DLC.
F2P games with a premium mode generally create elitest groups from premium players which insult F2P gamers, thinking money buys them skill, and writing off F2P gamer comments as invalid. I've seen one instance of someone suggesting to make a game with a Free mode, Premium, and Pro mode, have Free mode removed and make the game pay to play. (game was Quake Live)
Free to Play can be the answer for those who want games for free and do not want to resort to pirating.

Paragraph 1 Example:
Gamer 1: Wanna play Team Fortress 2?
Gamer 2: Nah, I'm on a strict budget. No game buying for me. Unless I can pirate it.
Gamer 1: Nah, bro! TF2 is Free to Play! Just download it off of Steam and get on my server!
Gamer 2: I'd love to, but I don't have Steam.
Gamer 1: Remind me why we still hang out with each other?
Paragraph 2 Example1:
Playomatic: Hey, how do I get the minigun? I've been searching for it, but I can't unlock it.
PremiPro: lol u cant unlock it by playing u must buy it u cheap n00b lol
Example 2:
<Member> The_New_Guy: I'm new here, so I was wondering if there was any servers I could join?

The ploy with which malicious websites tantalize innocent website users, usually twelve year olds, into clicking onto their site and receiving all kinds of viruses. If you see a sketchy advertisement for a free iPad, ignore it.

Someone who participates in a "free-use" relationship, acting as the person who allows their partner total access to their body whenever the partner chooses
"I found myself a free-user at the bar last night. She lets me do anything to her, day or night!" ~ Man speaking to his friend after a seemingly successful first date.
"Okay, in tonight's game - one of us will be the secret designated free-user while the rest of us try to figure out who! Gather your facts before you accuse! Just cuz someone sucks your dick doesn't mean they are free-to-use, it just means they like you!" ~ Host of a swingers' game night.

Free Grobstein was a schoolwide campaign in Westfield, New Jersey which demanded the reinstatement of the position of substitute teacher for Howard Grobstein.
Early in the week of Halloween 2018, Grobstein was caught watching pornography on his laptop during a class period, and allegedly displayed the NSFW content from his laptop in front of students with a projector, which got him fired by the WHS administration.
Later in the week, WHS students responded by chanting the line "Free Grobstein" in the hallways, in hopes of getting Grobstein’s job reinstated. On December 20, 2018, a student at WHS launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of raising $100,000 to get Grobstein’s job as a substitute teacher reinstated.
