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.

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.

Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building

The official name of the court building at Kent and Wellington Streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes it is colloquially and erroneously called "The Supreme Court Building" (even by experienced journalists) because it houses the Supreme Court of Canada. But it is officially called the "Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building" because the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court also both regularly sit in their own courtrooms within the building.

I'm going to the Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building to watch a Federal Court of Appeal hearing.

flea

My friend Chris is a flea. He tips the bartender only small amounts, certainly smaller than I do.

Flea

A person who doesn’t tip or tips very small amounts in a bar or restaurant. Refers to people who, like a flea, metaphorically have arms that are too short to reach down to their pockets.

In the hope of getting a decent tip, the bartender presented the bar tab to the person that he knows tips well, not to the flea next to him.

fisher price beer

A half pint or similar-sized beer. A smaller-than-usual beer.

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!

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