Or car-bum, or car-leech? (Thank Heavens the Dear Husband DOES have a car. And I walk or bus a lot. And probably will NEVER dare to ask for a ride again!)

I like CARBUM. Not gender specific, though I've known a few male "sluts" in my time, too. LOL.

You Anglocentrics have such a handicap for language. The word you're looking for is...

Schnorrer: begger; moocher; sponger; parasite; freeloader. a begger, a moocher; a beggar who makes pretensions to respectability.

Granted, that language is far more colorful. And you can't really beat "putz" to describe some people.

Schnorrer is outstanding, but I'm afraid I need an accompanying sound file to get it right.

roll the r's

I can roll my Spanish rr's decently, but I have a hunch there's more throat involved with "Schnorrer". Trying to pronounce that ferkakte word makes me ferklempt.

And in defense of the language of Shakespeare, CarSponge might have worked. Or even just "user".

Nope. Still not as good as Schnorrer.

in spanish you use the tongue behind the teeth i believe; german and yiddish it's in the back of the throat to roll r's.

the German R in high German is gutural not rolled. German R is rolled in some German dialects and rural German.

thank you missus french language person for telling me how i speak in a coupla german dialects including hochdeutsch und yiddish.

I thought you should know. By the way which dialect do you speak? Here we go again with the spelling Hochdeutsch! Nouns are capitalize in German.

whoops! she's going to try and correct you now because you smelt[er-spelt] her name wrong.

yes kippy I should have known better. Don´t you love the people who always respond to your remark by implicating your husband like if you were tied to the hip? Tells you a lot about that person´s mental capacity, doesn´t it.

Some things never change.
