getting something for nothing, especially if it involves using a government expense account

The definition pertains to the recent legislative expense scandal in Nova Scotia, Canada, when dozens of legislators were found with their hands in the cookie jar. Richard Hurlburt resigned after admitting to installing a generator and big screen TV in his house using his government expense account.

Hey man, by hurlburting a bit, I got a free generator, big-screen TV and security system at my pad.

To be led to believe you will get something at a job (usually a bonus, raise, promotion..), but get the rug pulled out from under you last minute.

-You work O.T. all month for the promised labor bonus, but not told til the 28th day you didn't fill out a form right on the 2nd day, so there'd be no bonus. Your co-worker says, "Damn, you've been hurlbutted."
or
-You work your ass off for a promised promotion, then, last minute, the job is given to a drunk from another store. I say to you, "Sorry you got hurlbutted. Is there anything I can do?"
