tiñoso
A term for an extremely stingy or cheap person who hates spending money or sharing. It describes someone so miserable they would turn off the TV to avoid a televised church collection. (In Dominican culture, the elbow is a symbol of stinginess, so it is said that a tiñoso is so tight-fisted that if they fell from the sky, their elbows would make a hole in the ground because they refuse to open their hands.)
Carlos? I would not even give that guy a little kiss, he is very tiñoso! Look here, you tiñoso, you better cough up the cash or do not expect to get anything from me, you hear? Man, I do not talk to Federico, I have never seen a man more tiñoso than he is.
