The August 1st vocabulary word of the day is: chintzy. I had never seen or heard the word "chintzy" until today, when it appeared on a blog I regularly read in the never exhaustive (sic) salary increases and BigLaw category:
Arent Fox: The firm now pays a starting salary of $160,000 in New York, D.C., and California, according to the firm website, which a tipster pointed out to us. (But that $20,000 clerkship bonus is pretty chintzy.)
