Is it becoming common now (in your experience) for people to use tiny in a complimentary way, with the meaning...
2021年1月26日 · Phoebe is joking that a small rat's ass is worth even less than the ass of a normal sized rat. The expression doesn't have to be used for material goods, it can be used for information as well. Friend: There are hot girls here. You: That information is valueless to me.
