Kunjoos is a South Asian slang term — widely used across India, Pakistan, and diaspora communities — for someone who is stingy, tight-fisted, or chronically cheap. It's the person who calculates every paisa at a group dinner, conveniently forgets their wallet when the bill arrives, and buys the cheapest possible gift while expecting the most expensive in return. The word has a playful but pointed edge; calling someone kunjoos is a light roast that everyone in the group understands immediately.
Don't invite Ravi — he's so kunjoos he'll eat half your food and then say he only had a few bites.
