"He's such a pichirre that he never pays his share of the taxi fare."
"Don't invite that pichirre to dinner."
/Sounds like 'pee-CHEE-rreh'/
A cheapskate — someone pathologically reluctant to spend money, even when they can afford it. In Venezuela, pichirre is that friend who 'forgets their wallet' every single time, who splits the bill down to the last cent, who won't buy you so much as a coffee. Being called pichirre is not a compliment.
"No invites a Luis, es un pichirre que nunca paga nada. → "Don't invite Luis — he's a cheapskate who never pays for anything."
"No seas pichirre, invita algo tú también. → "Don't be cheap — buy something for the group too."
