Avere i granchi in tasca.

The literal translation is: to have crabs in the pocket.

It is an Italian expression that means “To be stingy”.

Even if I heard it for the first time just a few weeks ago, it has immediately become my favorite one.

All the other Italian expressions for stinginess are racists or ableists. This one instead is cute and fun to me.
