Those in media, business or academia in Canada who assume prominent positions in society. They tend to be privileged, well-paid and somewhat confident in their own abilities. They went to school in elite institutions like UCC, Brebeuf and so on. Some even wear rings that signify their former or present membership in these institutions.
Ah, he got a job with the National Post, one of Canada’s leading newspapers. Makes sense. He came from Brebeuf in Montreal. And his tastes tend towards good wines, good scotches and elite company. He is quintessential Laurentian Elite.

My doctor says my triglycerides are too high because of alcohol. So I need to order a smaller-sized beer. Bartender, give me a Fisher Price beer please!

Someone who gives very low tips; in a bar or restaurant; a bad tipper; someone who, like a flea, has (so to speak) arms that are so short, they cannot reach into his pockets.
Hoping for a good tip, the bartender presented the bill to the guy in the red shirt, not his friend. That’s because the friend is a flea.

A person who is a bad tipper. Someone who does not reach into his or her pockets to tip, almost as if he or she has short arms like a flea.
The bartender, wanting a big tip, did not present the bar tab to the flea. He presented it to his buddy instead.

Hey bartender, don’t give your bill to that guy over there if you want to make money. He’s a flea. Give it to his friend.

A person with arms so short, he or she cannot dig into her or his pockets to make a good tip. A bad tipper. Someone who is cheap when making a gratuity at a restaurant or bar.
I want a good tip, so I will give the bar bill to the guy in the white shirt; the other guy is a flea and will tip nothing.
