A casual, clipped slang shorthand for "expensive" — the kind of word that rolls out easily in chat messages or quick conversation when you want to complain about prices without fully committing to the syllable count of the full word. It has a playful, informal ring that fits social media captions, group chats, and everyday grumbling about the cost of living. Slipping in "expenny" instead of "expensive" gives your complaint a slightly breezy, unbothered tone.
That new rooftop bar is cute but way too expenny for a Tuesday night.
