"Go on the scrounge" = (thông tục) tìm cách mượn hoặc có được cái gì bằng cách tự tiện lấy, không trao đổi hoặc trả tiền.

Ví dụ
It required us to put what little dignity (lòng tự trọng, phẩm giá) we had left aside and go on the scrounge to our relative and friends abroad.

This setup actually came about somewhat accidentally— I’d hoped to run 650b wheels at both ends of the bike for this year’s edition of The Dirty Reiver, but after the tyres (lốp xe) I had ordered failed to show up in time for the race, I was left to go on the scrounge for what was available to borrow (steal) from one of the other test bikes we have at BikeRadar HQ.

I had hoped to recreate the ‘wheel-mullet’ setup that I ran at the Dirty Reiver for the Grinduro, but a last minute shortage of appropriate tyres — in other words, I forgot to get a hold of the tyres I needed before the event — forced (bất đắc dĩ) me to go on the scrounge around the BikeRadar office and a pair of 650x47c WTB Horizon tyres was all I could find in time.
