I don’t care about the word stingy you girls problem should be looking for a job and stop claiming feminism

The real feminists aren’t online. All nairaland girls are h.oes

Enough said

derrydinny:
you have no right to call anyone stingy in as much as you didn't work for them. Stingy tho means bring reluctant to let go of material things for others

EmekaBlue:
My co-worker is a fvcking stingy bastard

A stingy person is one who enjoys favors from others but very hard to give back even if in a good position to do so.

TheUpsetGirl1:
what's your definition of stingy??

to me a stingy person is the one who you spend on, help in time of his/her needs, but doesn't spend on you and doesn't help in your time of needs.

like;

I spend on a guy, help him when he needs help but he doesn't spend on me, give excuses and refuse to help me in times when I'm in need of help.

what's your own definition of stingy? because I've noticed that the word have different meanings to many people.

MrBrownJay1:


wouldnt you think that the heartless ones here are the beggars who dont "feel" how much this man has SUFFERED in order to save this money, and these beggars want to make decision on HIS money?! how dare they! if anyone begging has pain then that shouldnt be the reason for a man with a plan to squander what he has suffered to put aside, especially when the majority of beggars were spending their own money on frivolous BS when this man was living a simple life to be able to save.

the minute you believe that you DESERVE to be helped and/or that you are ENTITLED to another person's wealth, thats the day you would have officially failed in life. any human being should strive to better their lives on their own, and if someone decide to help them, fair enough, and if they dont then SO BE IT. stop putting your life's responsibility on other people's lap

MrBrownJay1:
a stingy person is someone who is careful with money, who knows the value of money, and most importantly, how hard it is to make money (thus they dont squander it on BS).

sadly, the majority of people in Nigeria who call others stingy have absolutely no money to call their own, and are usually the one begging that same "stingy" person for handouts etc (or expect him to spend frivolously on them).

Is this ur own definition of stingy or the one u read in the dictionary?
No dictionary in the world that has this ur definition of stingy.
U can do better next time instead of translating ur frustration into the meaning of words that do not justify same.

UDUJ:
Though I don't like the Op, I will try to answer this as detailed as possible.


Let's take this in reverse order:

The "stingy" are those who could spend, but choose not to. They value money more than comfort or approval from others. This could be rooted in a fear of poverty, a lack of self esteem, selfishness or resentment.

The "cheap" are those who do not assess the value of what is spent vs. the benefit derived. They sometimes spend on items that are low in cost, but have no intrinsic value, simply because the item is cheap. They take pleasure from the immediate gratification of owning the item, without considering whether it has quality or enduring utility, or whether the amount spent could yield more if allocated differently.

The "economical" are those who assess the benefit of spending vs the cost. They seek to obtain the best value for, or highest benefit of, their spending. They seek enduring utility or intrinsic value in exchange for their spending.

The "generous" will spend a portion of assets not needed to sustain their needs. They may even sacrifice a measure of their own comfort to relieve a perceived need in others. Sometimes this is an act seeking approval. Sometimes this is a demonstration of power. Sometimes this is performed out of a sense of obligation. Sometimes this is an act of true philanthropy, performed simply because it is possible.

For you to have no regards for women and mothers, you definitely grew up on the streets, probably slept under the bridge... that's the reason you had no proper upbringing, no character, zero class!
I blame the woman who gave birth to you!

lonelydora:
This Chelsea fan is very stingy.

Afam4eva:

I think the Nigerian and universal definition of stingy are different.

In Nigeria, you're stingy if you don't give people money just for the heck of it. Why should i give you money just because you asked me to and you think you reserve the right to call me stingy.

jaxxy:
Not exactly. Sm stingy people spend frivolouly on themselves by can't give a dime out to others. Sm are only good at collecting bt hardly ever giving. Money only has value when it's not been spent on themselves as u put. I know people who are cautious spenders bt give to the needy around them.

Bt if this is a twisted context of guys bashing gals and vice versa count me out!
