Someone who is very stingy and tight with money. Usually given to GAA match stadium stewards who don't leave people into the stadium for stupid reasons.
This is a very, very common thing amongst Irish people when describing a person, place or thing. Because sometimes we can't articulate how large or small an object is, or the skin tone of an individual or even the heat of a local curry dish - we use this a lot! We basically just say the word twice and the person who gets the info knows exactly what we mean by tone alone.
