stems and seeds


deliberate lack of something, be it information, goods or consideration. usually a withholding as part of a deception.
“come on, johnny. i asked you for some information, and all you’re giving me are stems and seeds.”
“stems and seeds” refers to the hodge-podge of loose change one has prior to being completely broke. to clarify, ‘stems and seeds’ are not the huge containers of change that people gradually compile; rather, the term applies to the usually worthless (i.e., mostly pennies) coins you’re down to right before payday.
“anyway, we stopped to grab a draft on the way home from work, like we usually do. dumb–ss me forgets i’m broke, and i order the first round. at the exact moment i saw the barmaid turn the corner with a trayfull of tall-boys, it finally dawned on me that i was down to my ‘stems and seeds.’
