Words on your mind – mooching

Lots of you have been looking up mooch in the Macmillan Dictionary this month. The verb definition suggests that to mooch is a fairly negative thing to do. The phrasal verb for this entry, however, to mooch around, is my candidate for the ultimate international pastime! I like to mooch around shops, round the house and round new places that I visit. I have also just found out from surfing the net that mooching is actually a method of fishing too – definitely a nice, chilled-out activity. Ahhh mooching around! – if only we all had a bit more time to do it!
