A wonderfully expressive informal word that covers a range of negative qualities: being small and mean, stingy and miserly, or just plain poor and bare. If someone calls you scrunty, they're not paying you a compliment — you're either being tight with money, looking a bit pathetic, or generally coming up short. It's the kind of old-fashioned British or regional insult that sounds almost comical but lands with surprising sting. Great for describing a thin, disappointing sandwich or a miser who won't buy a round.
He gave me the most scrunty little tip after I'd worked a double shift.
