"Schnorrer" is a slang term that comes from Yiddish, entering English usage in the late 19th to early 20th century, originally meaning someone who begs or mooches. The word literally describes a person who constantly takes from others without offering anything in return. It has been used in informal speech, literature, and Jewish-American communities to criticize or mock someone for freeloading or exploiting generosity. The term is derogatory, clearly expressing contempt, though it can be used humorously or affectionately in some social contexts.
