Definition
A stingy or miserly person who squeezes the last value from everything; one who would skin a flint for profit.
Etymology
Compound of 'flay' (to strip) and 'flint' (hard rock). A colorful colloquial expression suggesting someone so miserly they'd try to extract value from worthless material.
Kelly Says
This wonderfully specific insult reveals medieval attitudes toward wealth—'flayflint' suggests extracting value from the impossible, capturing the intense dislike of excessive penny-pinching in communities where everyone depended on reasonable trade.
