Refers to the resentment or dissatisfaction that
someone feels regarding a reduced payment, either because the

said transaction.
In the famous 1942 Basil Rathbone film "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret
Weapon", Pegleg displays extreme and bitter discountent when Holmes makes HIM pay Jack
Brady the required five-
pound "information-bribe" out of the ten that Holmes had already given Pegleg to bring Holmes to Jack's carpentry shop.
