piggybacking
The act of trying to get into a subway station without paying. The name originates from the method, in that someone will wait for another passenger to pay, and when the
gates open, the other person will immediately walk in right behind them so the gates don't close immediately. This only works with fare gates that open and close automatically, and not
turnstiles.The word is believed to have originated in Boston, where the act became more common after the
MBTA increased fare prices.

Example:
It was
too hard to get her
legs far enough apart, so piggybacking was the only
option that would work.

At my
midtown apartment, I piggybacked off the chick

my own internet service.

Accessing a rich person’s wireless network from the suburbs which allows you to use their internet connection without their permission which offends not only the rich person, but the
ISP because the ISP wants you to pay over
60 dollars a month for cheap bogged-down
high speed internet.
Example:
A stupid rich stuck-up person from the suburbs bought a wireless router with BROADBAND internet connection (which is totally
bogged down by the
ISP) and
encrypted it with a password but since passwords are crackable the talented hacker cracked the password and is now using the rich persons wireless network which now gives them free internet.
The authorities caught a coupe of people doing this and labeled this a Piggyback.
