Hello, everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.

Today's podcast is brought to you by Amazon and our book club. A brand new book. It's so excellent. You can get it for free. Listen at the end of today's podcast. Today's expression is so good. I'm giving you a noun

and a verb and a phrasal verb. Oh, this is a boy, this is, you should pay for

this lesson. So the noun is a mooch, M-O-O-C-H, a mooch. The verb is to mooch, M-O-O-C-H, to mooch, past tense, mooched, E-D, you know, present progressive I-N-G,

mooching. And the phrasal verb is to mooch off someone, to mooch off M-O-O- f and then someone to mooch off someone okay so there you go mooch to mooch and to mooch off someone to mooch off me to mooch off my dad to mooch off of someone is also possible so what

does it mean to mooch oh boy to mooch is bad to mooch means to take something or use something or eat something that belongs to somebody else but to take it,

to eat it, to use it like it is your own. For example, if you come to my house, I have many books. Oh, and I love my books. Lots of history books.

Lots of ESL books for learning English. Lots of very interesting books. Lots of business books, too.

And I used to have a friend. He's no longer my friend. but he would come to my house and he would look at my books and he would not even ask me.

He would just take a book and take it home.

He would never ask.

Now, sometimes he would bring it back, but other times he would never bring it back.

And I would go to his house and I would see my book and I would take it.

It's crazy.

But not only books, CDs, music CDs, DVDs, DVDs, movies, yes, it's the same thing.

But I must say, I am also guilty. The other day I was looking at my DVDs and I noticed that I had several DVDs that I never bought.

There's somebody else's.

I have no idea whose DVDs those are, but now they're mine.

Where did I get those DVDs?

I mooched them.
