gimmedat
Short for "Give me that". A word used when a person, usually a minority, wants to get free stuff just because they're a minority or part of a special interest group. The gimmedats don't have to be from any government organization, they could also be from charities or even people they know personally. These people usually have no shame in asking for handouts and have no long-term goals except to get free stuff. Because of their own shortsightedness and refusal to make their own situations better, the gimmedats often do nothing except create a vicious cycle of reliance.
