Viggybacking 

Viggybacking is taking a video of a concert with a phone or camera when someone in front of you is also taking a video. You can then record the actual footage as well as the footage coming through the other person's crystal clear phone screen. While viggybacking may be inadvertent at the time, strategic viggybacking is great for short people who are standing behind tall people also taking videos.
Conor: I want to take a video but I am short and cannot see the stage so I will instead try viggybacking on another person's footage

piggybacking 

The act of trying to get into a subway station without paying. The name originates from the method, in that someone will wait for another passenger to pay, and when the gates open, the other person will immediately walk in right behind them so the gates don't close immediately. This only works with fare gates that open and close automatically, and not turnstiles.

The word is believed to have originated in Boston, where the act became more common after the MBTA increased fare prices.
As I was going into the subway station today, someone bumped into me from behind. When I turned around, the transit cops were giving him a ticket for piggybacking.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
