Seeking out information.

In the Futurama Movie: Benders Big Score, aliens from the nudist beach planet "Nudar" trap the Planet Express crew in an internet scam and eventually take over the planet Earth.

These aliens have an organ called the "sprunger" they use for sniffing out information. Throughout the movie they are "sprunging" about for information.
Bender: What are you doing, wonderful masters?
Fleb: Sprunjing for information.
(Nudar sprunjes a wall)
Nudar: Oh! There's something here. I can sprunje it. Robot, tear it open!
Bender: Goody, goody, goody, goody!
(Bender starts hitting the wall with his head)
Zoidberg: What's that thing on your neck?
Nudar: Checking out my sprunjer, huh?
Zoidberg: I guess. What does it do?
Nudar: It's a special sense organ our species possesses. It engorges in the presence of... moans Information.
Zoidberg: Lucky you. All I have is a gland that gives off foul odors when I'm bored.
(A quiet spraying sound is heard, then the nudists, Amy, and the Professor all look at Zoidberg and cover their noses)
(Bender finishes beating up the wall with his head)
Bender: Hey, look, a safe!
Farnsworth: That's my safe. I call keep-offsies.
Nudar: No callsies! Open it!

Scrounging 

British slang for obtaining goods and services without having to pay for them. The word can be used in two rather different ways:
1 If it is for personal advantage then the word has certain negative implications, that the person doing the

scrounging is not wholly trustworthy;
2 If it is to further a project at work or to obtain goods, materials or money for a charity then there can be a certain

amount of admiration.
1 “I see Jan’s mumping drinks again.”

“What a scrounging old fart she is.”
2 “How did you get the job finished so quickly?

“Johnny went out scrounging and brought back some brand new 2 x 1 someone had dumped in a skip.”
