gimmes
Conceded short putts
Gimmes is informal for things easily obtained or expected as freebies.
In golf, a gimme is a putt so short that opponents concede it without requiring the stroke: That's a gimme—just pick it up.
More broadly, gimmes are easy wins or sure things: The first few questions were gimmes.
The word captures the grabby entitlement of give me.
