ドケチ
의미: Super stingy or extremely tight-fisted — an emphatic insult for someone who is unreasonably cheap with money.
ドケチ combines the intensifier prefix ド (extreme) with ケチ (stingy) to create an amplified version meaning 'ridiculously cheap.' It goes beyond ordinary frugality into the territory of being embarrassingly unwilling to spend money, even when the situation clearly calls for it. Common complaints include splitting bills to the exact yen, never treating anyone, and always choosing the cheapest option regardless of quality.
