It is (and for millennia has been) in the nature of human transactions that that goods and services are provided for the payment of money in return. Otherwise, it is common to use a phrase such as «admission charge applies», «subject to payment» etc. The fact that wording «free, white and 21″ appears in quotation marks suggests that the writer was invoking a formulation that was already (in 1845) a familiar phrase—presumably one used to identify the prerequisites for having come of age and entered into the full rights of citizenship in Virginia at that time. «Free» in an economic context, is short for «free of charge.» As such, it is correct. Big-time performers, or the movie studios to which they are under contract, donate their services. Because free by itself can function as an adverb in the sense «at no cost,» some critics reject the phrase for free.

Demand (an amount) as a price for a service rendered or goods supplied. «Paid fare,» «paid consultant,» etc. are redundant, and don’t make much sense. «Pay toilet» sounds more natural to me (we used to have devices called «pay phones»). In some cases, you would say pay (rather than paid), at least in US English.

The first schwag as promo stuff I heard was stickers and so on given out by Flickr mid last decade, as their fun variation of swag. Earlier senses of «bulky bag» (c.1300) and «big, blustering fellow» (1580s) may represent separate borrowings from the Scandinavian source. The noun sense of «ornamental festoon» is first found 1794. Before this new meaning, I knew it to mean the stuff a thief has stolen (often hauled in a swag bag in cartoons).
One of my friends said, ‘Is it on the house? I want to make a official call and ask the other person whether he is free or not at that particular time. Even by the 1930’s, fortunately, that phrase was mostly a joke. There was a time, sadly, when not being free, white, and 21 was a significant legal disability. As an aside, I note that I grew up on the edge of the Old South (in southeast Texas) in the 1960s and 1970s, and I never heard anyone use the expression «free, white, and twenty-one.» (I can’t say the same about certain other racially fatuous expressions such as «that’s mighty white of you.») So it may be that this pornhubslots official catch phrase was already obsolescent—at least in the U.S.
We do, however, sometimes hear the phrase ‘free consultation’, as it is sometimes necessary to make it clear that some particular consultations are different from the default. The phrases listed by the OP indeed seem awkward, but what makes them awkward is not the same in all cases. For that reason, the contrast between paid for and not paid for is most commonly expressed in terms of, for example, public and private health, education and care. The kingdoms of islam had vakoufs, charitable foundations which provided a variety of public services at the expense of the royal or powerful. The obvious exception of which I am aware is the private school, which is regularly described as ’fee-paying’. Therefore, the default position is that good and services are paid for, so that we don’t need an adjective to tell us so.

The language in this act regarding «free white male inhabitants of said town» and «of Scott county» was the same in section 4 of the 1847 act; the amended language of 1854 simply added the requirement about paying a poll tax. The practical sense of the expression is evident in the following longer wording, which embeds the gist of the expression. In this context, «free» referred not to not being a slave but primarily to not being in jail or prison for committing a crime. With the election of Andrew Jackson as President of the United States in 1828, Jackson’s position that property ownership restrictions should be abolished everywhere apparently gave rise to the phrase, because being «free, white, and 21″ should be all you need in order to be eligible to vote. According to a couple of sources the phrase appeared around 1828 as a description of who should be allowed to vote. Although the phrase became something of a Hollywood cliché in the 1930’s, it was around long before that and didn’t die out until the civil rights movement of the 1960’s.

From (at least) Olson (1965), it has been common for economists to speak of the «free-rider problem». Given that freeloader originated only in 1933, it’s perhaps not surprising that people in the 1950s and 1960s discussing the labor union issue used the older term free rider instead. But he was certainly not the first to use the term in this context. I would note though that probably thanks to the appropriation of free rider by economics, the term free rider is today more often used in that more specialized context, while freeloader is more often used in informal colloquial contexts. A person or company that gets an advantage without paying for it or earning it What is the difference between «free-riding» and «free-loading» in the context of market failures?
