    Excessively sparing or frugal.

    My students are never able to guess what this word means, ha ha!

    Nathan, how about an obscure car-related word of the day?

    In a similar vein, my race team in the late 60's was called "Impecunious Racing"... we ran a 948cc Sprite in SCCA H Production, my number was 13, and we used to say 13HP, that's about right......:D
