The word “cadge” has been employed by writers to evoke a sense of informal, improvised acquisition or placement, often carrying a slightly roguish or subversive nuance. For instance, in James Joyce’s Ulysses, the phrase “Lenehan’s yachting cap on the cadge beyond” ([1]) encapsulates this quality: the term subtly hints at a casual, almost offhand method of placement or borrowing that aligns with the freewheeling, modernist spirit of the work. Joyce’s succinct use of “cadge” here enriches the imagery, suggesting not only the act of obtaining something without formal permission but also layering the ordinary with a hint of complexity and playful irreverence—a trademark of his narrative style.
