Freegan

A freegan is also a portmanteau that combines the words free and vegan. Sometimes known as a ‘dumpster diver’, a freegan is a person who believes it is wrong to throw away food when millions of people around the world are hungry. For this reason, they only eat food they can get for free, which would usually have been thrown out or waste. Often freegans rely on food found in supermarket dumpsters.

RABBITRY

As well as being a place where rabbits are bred and reared, rabbitry is an old 1920s-1930s word for a poor performance by a sportsperson or team. It’s derived from the slightly earlier use of rabbit to mean a novice or inexperienced player (particularly at cricket), which is itself based on the idea of someone being as timid or as ineffectual as a rabbit. Likewise, a rabbit-sucker (that is, literally a suckling rabbit) was a 16th century word for an innocent fool.
