skimpy

Australian Slang: A female bartender who takes her clothes off if she collects enough in tips. Common in the city of Kalgoorlie.

It’s this diverse mix of customers who have all had a beer with a skimpy that makes the Kalgoorlie skimpy scene so unique, according to Wild West Saloon Bar manager and former skimpy Nicky who first came to Kalgoorlie to work five years ago during her university holidays. - The Kalgoorlie Miner
