Flea

A low tipper in a bar or restaurant. Refers to someone who, like a flea, has arms that are too short to reach down into his/her pockets.

The bartender served a pair of guys and, hoping for a good tip, presented the bar tab to the guy he knew was not a flea.

A bad tipper. A person who, like a flea, has short arms, so he doesn’t reach into his pockets

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.

When we go to the pub, my friend Chris tips far less than I do. He is such a flea.
