Scrounge and scrounger.
What's your definition?
I think it denotes asking for something, usually an object, as gift. That is not expecting to pay for it.
So -
Scrounge a sandwich from the kitchen
Scrounge the usable wood going into a skip
A scounger is someone, usually a bit unwelcome, who is always scrounging something from me.
'He's a right scrounger'
Thinking Box:
Skip - how did an action become the word for a waste container?
