халявщик Explanation: The best equivalent because such a person is a "free-bee consumer". Compare a phrase in Russian, "proyekhatjsya na khalyavu" - literally - "to ride for free", or "to show wit at somebody's expense". Funny it is, but there is a coincidence in both languages regarding the "riding" effect. |
