Chupapata is a term used in some Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Spain, to mockingly refer to a person who is considered a freeloader or who takes advantage of others' generosity. It is a combination of 'chupa' which means 'sucks' and 'pata' which means 'leg'. Literally, it could be translated as 'leg sucker'.
