what does "nickle-and-diming" mean?

Nickles and dimes are low-value American coins.\n\nTo "nickle and dime" means to annoy or exhaust by charging small fees, or by inference, to annoy with small ideas or petty complaints.\n\nI hopethis helps you :-))

To "mince" was to cut up, chop up, etc.  So the saying means, don't cut your words short.  Say what you mean, fully.

That's absoulutely hilarious. Unfortunately, a great deal of meaning can be lost in writing, particularly when one is being factitious or sarcastic. Am I wrong to assume that this was meant to be be a joke? (It seems that no one else is interpreting it that way.) Neither of the words that you listed are diminuitive at all.\n\nThese are the lyrics from a song by Nelly - a famous rapper. It's just a joke people.

It doesn't just mean that. It means being tight with money, miserable about money, cynical about charity etc etc.\nAny miserly person.

I don't know, but I can guess- it looks like a contraction. Written out with spaces in it, it is 'You no gaw no'- just add an 'n', it becomes 'You no gawn no'; then, 'You no gawn know.' Finally, 'You are not going to know', or 'You will not know (this thing)'.\n\nObviously it's slang- I imagine that you might use if someone asks you a question that you don't want to answer in order to annoy the person asking you.\n\n"What do you have in the bag there?"\n\n"Younogawno, fool!"\n\nThat's the best I can do... I'd be interested if it meant anything very different than that though.

I'll give a guess\n\nI figure it's a term that people may use if foolishly spending money\n\nfrom dollars to doughnuts \n\ndoughnuts meaning nothing, zeros like the shape of a doughnut.\n\nthat's my guess.

One interpretation would be \nKeeping Everything Completely F*'d Up\n\nOr it might be\nCrikey! Everything's Completely F*'d Up.\n\nHowever, I don't think it's in usage as commonly as SNAFU.

It means multiply. This asterisk sign is used in almost all computer keyboards to represent "Mutiply". It must be there also from where you have typed your question.

The one that is not a nickle is a quarter.  The other one is a nickle.

Not sure what the Snickers reference is saying.  Maybe they use an image that gives a different meaning.\n\nUsually it means falsifying accounting records.  Hope that helps.   : )

My gang translated R as "royal".\nAnyway the meaning of the phrase was an indeterminate small increment used in adjusting something (length, voltage, etc).

waxing...here's why:\n\nif the moon is in it's first quarter, that means the first quarter of the cycle which begins on the new moon. waxing means getting bigger, waning means getting smaller. in the first quarter, it is moving toward full moon, therefore it is waxing.
