Card licker is a pejorative term used to describe a person who is extremely frugal and penny-pinching to the point of being stingy. This type of individual is notorious for hoarding resources and taking great measures to save even the smallest amounts of money, such as by licking the adhesive off of used postage stamps to reuse them. The term is often used as a criticism of individuals who prioritize saving money over personal hygiene or basic social norms.
