codecadge
/ˈkəʊdˌkædʒ/nounVerified NewThe scrounging of discount codes at the payment screen — searching, asking, trying expired strings — practised as a normal stage of checkout.
The ritual has its own grammar: a new tab, a search, a tab back, the paste, the refusal. Codecadge saves the average shopper little and costs the average checkout several minutes.
Etym. — code + cadge — "cadge", the old word for scrounging, preserved for the voucher era.
