I'm pretty sure that's the sense Jim was using (and it's certainly not
restricted to North America; I learned it in British English).
No, it's a fair cop, I did notice that. I specifically looked for an

It seems very odd to me to talk about scrounging something that you
already own, though, that's the point.
