How it's used

This phrase carries a strong sense of dishonesty and social disapproval. It is specifically used for the act of leaving a restaurant or eatery without paying the bill, rather than just getting a free meal through legitimate means. The term implies a deliberate, sneaky attempt to cheat the business owner.

Examples

Don't you even think about eating without paying.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe a meal that was gifted or provided for free by a friend or host, as that would be considered polite or generous rather than a deceptive act.
