(slang) Expenses (charged to one's employer).
(slang) expensive.
(UK, AU, informal) Expensive.
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.
British informal shortening of 'expenses', typically referring to costs incurred while doing your job that you then charge back to your employer — think business travel, client dinners, or hotel stays. Saying you'll put something 'on exies' is a casual, knowing way of signalling you're spending company money rather than your own. Common in office culture, journalism, and any role where expensing meals or travel is a routine perk of the job.
