Be a sponge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mooch

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">be a sponge</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for mooch that I've seen before include "bum" , "Move aimlessly" , "Hang around aimlessly" , "Walk aimlessly around" , "Loiter listlessly" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
