1. 1愛白吃白拿、愛佔便宜的人(英式口語,帶貶義)

    A scrounger is a person who gets money, food, or other things by asking people for them, rather than paying or earning them. The verb is scrounge: to ask around, to borrow, to take what is going. Among friends, "He's a scrounger" can sound almost light — the person who never buys a round, who always "forgets" a wallet. In British newspapers, though actually, scrounger is often a hard insult, used for people the paper wants you to see as living off others or off the state. That use is political and . The word is informal either way. It is about getting things from people, not about hating to spend.

組成From scrounge (to get something by asking, not paying) + -er (a person who does that).
