chintzy

1. • John Betjeman, Death in Leamington

     "Tea!" she said in a tiny voice.
     "Wake up! It's nearly five."
     Oh! Chintzy, chintzy cheeriness,
     Half dead and half alive.

This is a bit of an odd RfD, but I don't know how to handle rfdefs. This cite is supposed to embody a sense of chintzy not otherwise included above. That certainly strikes me as cheap cheeriness, one of the definitions above.--Prosfilaes (talk) 20:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

I added the citation. I wasn't quite sure. I've moved it to your suggested sense now. Equinox ◑ 02:05, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
