The word Scrimpy oringinates from the word shrimp. It means to me skinny and mal-nourished. Often to look like a prawn. It is a description of a person or an object.

It's contextual and the closest meaning I can think of is f*cking awesome, but only in certain situations or for some items. Some examples are below:

1 - Me an my little sister matching with each other on Tinder. I don't know it's her but she know it's me even though it's not a picture of my face on my profile.

That's Scrimpy.

2 - Going out and partying all night. Waking up and, while still drunk, sitting and passing an exam for work. Then going into a meeting with potential clients, swearing and making racial jokes and still getting the contract.

That's Scrimpy.

3 - Doing my friends mum and then paying her with money I stole from that friend.

That's Scrimpy AF!
Dude, acknowledge my Scrimp.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
