Refers to merchandise that you pick up for someone else while shopping for your own items, either because this other person is unable to travel to the store himself, or because he is not a paid member of the big-box outfit where his desired items are offered, and so he has asked you as a member to obtain the items for him at the warehouse's bulk-package discount.
I don't buy enough household consumables to justify the $89-per-year membership-fee that Sam's Club charges, so I just piggyback-purchase them through the large family down the street.

Get the piggyback-purchase mug.The act of reusing another person’s “joke” or “saying” over and over again on random occasions to the same group of peers. Believing you’re as funny/witty as the OG composer. Thus forcing a counterfeit laugh amongst the group.
“Man that punchline Mike said the other day was hilarious.”
“ It totally was, now AHYO and Sison say it everyday for the most random shit.”
“Fo Reals, they’re totes piggybacking off it!”

Get the Piggybacking mug.A human-based social engineering technique, it is when the attacker/bad actor tags along with another person who is authorized to gain entry into a restricted area or pass a certain checkpoint
Bad Actor: Approaches the entrance of a restricted building with their arms full, pretending to be an employee. Victim: Swipes their access card to enter the building. Bad Actor: Quickly shows their fake access card to the Victim and asks them to hold the door.
Victim: Unaware of the Bad Actor’s true intentions, holds the door for them. Bad Actor: Gains unauthorized access to the building.
Bad Actor :*He doesn't know I'm using a social engineering technique called Piggybacking, hehe.

Get the Piggybacking mug.A person who joins in the latest trend of anti establishment demonstrations, to show the world how “woke” they are. Can usually be found posting their outrage on social media straight after the mass media reports an indiscretion. Stating how they have supported this cause all their lives. Before quickly moving onto the next headline and abandoning the previous cause and even contradicted themselves.

Get the Double piggyback mug.My friend farted loudly, then laughed and joyfully smelled the fart. He had no idea that I piggybacked his fart, so he was actually smelling my gas.

Get the Piggyback mug.A piggyback birthday greeting is when someone wishes you a Happy Birthday on social media such as Facebook and another person leaves a Happy Birthday reply to that person's greeting (usually no relation or association to the person that made the original greeting) which to is the digital equivalent of signing someone else's physical birthday card who has no relation to you and you not getting your own card. It also throws off the birthday greeting count that Facebook provides.
I can't believe how many people don't know how to click on the Happy Birthday link on Facebook...they just leave a piggyback birthday greeting on someone's else's greeting that they have no relationship with. That's like signing someone else's birthday card!
