moochverb
đi lang thang
/muːtʃ//muːtʃ/The word "mooch" has a fascinating history. Its origins date back to the mid-19th century in the United States. Initially, "moocher" referred to a pickpocket or thief who targeted people in crowds, especially in marketplaces or fairs. The term is believed to have come from the Yiddish word "mukhes," meaning "to beg" or "to steal." Over time, the term evolved to encompass other forms of freeloading or taking advantage of others without reciprocity. In the early 20th century, "to mooch" became a verb, meaning to get something for free or without working for it. Today, people might "mooch" food from a friend, mooch a ride, or even mooch off someone's good intentions. Despite its somewhat pejorative connotations, the word "mooch" has become a common part of modern English slang.
