This thread sure seems to attract lots of useless stuff.
How about a new word. CADGE
found it on another word of the day.
TO BEG, TO OBTAIN BY IMPOSING ON SOMEONE’S GENEROSITY.
example:  People used to assume that I could always cadge money from my parents.
I just like the word.  Never heard of it before.

It’s a great idea for a reality TV show Luke, Cadge Begging.

There are enough reality shows.  Yet you have a point, if people like comb-over Donald Trump give money to the biggest beggar.  But I would not watch it,
because I think all reality shows are fixed.

I’ll cadge on your kind words today in an email. Thanks.
