Someone (usually a black guy) who hangs around the subway
turnstiles pretending to "check the balance" on his blank
Metrocard that he probably found in the garbage-uses this as an excuse to
loiter near the turnstiles-asks everyone who comes along if they can help him out with whatever
Hey look at the
turnstile leech pretending he's
checking his
Metrocard balance. I ain't giving him shit!
