Two-bits

We were watching Dr. Quinn, and they used the term two-bits.

Not knowing what it meant, we Wiki-ed it.  I'll save you the boring details, but it colloquial expression for "cheap."


Me: I'm gonna start using the term two-bit.

Kaywa: How?

Me: Like, that girl is a two-bit tramp.

Kaywa: Uhhhhhh, people won't know what you mean.

Me: Okay, how about, those pants I bought at Walmart are so two-bit.

Kaywa: Actually, I don't care how you use it.

Me: As long as I don't call you a two-bit tramp, right?

Kaywa: If you do, I'll shove two-bits up your butt [sic].

Me: *silence*

Kaywa: No lie.

Me: I'll get you a two-bit cookie to make up for it.
