Spice the Gravy (verb)
When a contract with a client you don’t like has officially ended, but they keep you on anyway—giving you that sweet, extra “gravy” money. However, since you’re no longer contractually bound to their every whim, you start doing things your way, adding your own “spice” to the work instead of just serving up their bland requests.

"My contract with that nightmare client ended last month, but they begged me to stay. Fine. But now? I’m gonna spice the gravy—no more hand-holding or sugarcoating."
