Discussion tactics/methods question: by Classic_Jon2009-08-26 14:50:15
  I'd say "arbitrary" by bitflipper2009-08-26 15:01:02
    Not one of your generations hears it as "cheap"? by kahuana2009-08-26 15:03:42
      Depending on context, yes. by bitflipper 2009-08-26 15:10:58
All three of us probably would; but it's not our typical slang usage for the term. Generally, to signify someone who is being over-frugal, my father and I would append a vulgate anatomical term to the end of "tight," and my daughter would just say "cheap" or "stingy". At least, in mine or her mother's hearing; I know for a fact she's looser with her vocabulary among her friends. :grin:
