Additionally, it can be used as a noun to describe either the act itself or the person who engages in such activity.
As a verb, spange generally involves the act of requesting or soliciting small amounts of money from strangers, either by holding out a container like a cup or hat or by verbally appealing for donations. It is often practiced by individuals experiencing homelessness or financial hardship, as a means to acquire essential goods or services. Spanging is commonly associated with urban areas, where there is a higher density of people and opportunities for solicitation.
While spanging is generally seen as a form of panhandling, it may also involve more creative or entertaining approaches to attract attention and increase the likelihood of receiving donations. Some individuals might showcase their talents, perform acts or entertain passersby in exchange for money, which is also referred to as "busking".
