verb

To obtain something, such as money or a favor, by begging or imposing on someone else's generosity.
Cadge describes a mild form of sponging, where someone gets small things such as a cigarette, a ride, or a meal by asking rather than paying or earning them. The verb carries a slightly disapproving tone, suggesting habitual reliance on the generosity of others. It probably comes from an old dialect word related to peddling, and it remains most common in British informal speech.
