Chiseler

historically linked to thieves, but more recently -ssociated with just about anything. someone who picks something apart a tiny bit at a time. one can chisel on another’s stash, their money, their air, their sp-ce, their game, their well-being…whatever.

a person who tries to get the lowest price possible on everything and will go to extremes to save a few dollars or pennies. in other words, a cheap -ss looser, a coupon-clipper, someone that would bend over in the street to pick up a penny.

a retired government employee who lives on a government pension, but despises the federal government. these individuals are proud fiscal conservatives. they live in suburbs and love yard work because it makes them feel like a man. they are critical about everything. they attend local government meetings to b-tch. they believe they are active in the political arena with their letters to the editor complaining about government. they are often children of vets, but didn’t serve themselves. they have mustaches. they couldn’t accomplish sh-t with their life, so they got a government gig and maybe worked their way to middle management. they chisel away at their own and everyone else’s life. above all else, they teabag.

a derogatory name for the irish. a higher form of paddy and mick. much more offensive.
