Leaver Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 On 11/23/2019 at 5:50 AM, sunnyboy2018 said: The term cheap charlie, originally from the USA is a pejorative term Bar Girls used to use to insult mean, miserly, ungenerous, tight fisted customers typically wanting something for nothing. Now the term has been adopted by expats as a catch all phrase to label budget travellers and anyone who is economical or admits to not having a millionaire lifestyle. Thus many restaurants are cheap or inexpensive but that does not make them cheap charlie restaurants. A cheap charlie is someone who never buys a around of drinks but accepts other people buying him drinks. A person who never comes out with enough money, frequently borrowing money but not paying it back. Also, the term Cheap Charlie evolved and was given to people who refused to be ripped off. ????
