What does MINGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Mean and stingy, especially in giving money, food, or time.
Mingy blends the sounds of mean and stingy, and it carries the same disapproving tone as both, describing someone who gives or shares far less than expected. A mingy portion at a restaurant looks skimpy on the plate, and a mingy tip insults the person receiving it. The word is chiefly British and always negative, never a neutral description of thrift.
