#35: Nose Bagger

The term ‘nose bagger’ was used in the past to describe someone who was a moocher. Originating in informal English during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ‘nose bagger’ captured the image of someone constantly rummaging for handouts, much like an animal sticking its nose into a bag of food.

The term connoted a sense of dependency and laziness, often associated with individuals who relied on others for sustenance or support without contributing themselves. You don’t want to be considered a nose bagger, that’s for sure.
