wheeze

Definition

The noble art of mooching, taking advantage of, or enjoying something without proper permission—immortalized by Pauly Shore in the 1992 classic "Encino Man." To wheeze is to partake in someone else's resources with the confidence of someone who definitely wasn't invited. It's borrowing without the intention of returning, enjoying without the burden of ownership.

Example Usage

Dude's been wheezing off my Netflix account for three years and still asks me why I changed the password.

Bada**

A bada** is a person who is considered cool because he doesn't follow the rules. The person probably wears a leather jacket and owns a motorcycle, but these two traits are not required in order to qualify. Its origins date back to the 1950s where it was primarily used to describe someone as dangerous because he or she would not conform to society's norms and therefore be dangerous, like a political revolutionist. As the term has evolved, a bada** doesn't necessarily have to be dangerous, he just has to do cool things and be willing to break some rules, regardless of whether they are minor or major. While the term is typically used in-person, it may also be used online and in text messages. Although, when used online, it is often shortened to BA to save character space and time.
