"Cheap in" for chip in

If you are embarassed for funds, pinchpenny or otherwise reluctant to pay the full price, you and your friends could “cheap-in” together:

However, you need to cheap-in for Limo rental services as the costs can be quite high. (http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Costs-of- … id=1444090)

Willing to cheap in for any Ideas, Money, Contacts and Expertise. (http://www.ifenergy.com/50226711/a_fly_ … cooter.php)

Feel free to use the kitchen while you are here, but you need to cheap in for our food and transportation like gasoline. (http://www.globalfreeloaders.com/member … D9-1948170)

so please feel free to cheap-in whatever amount you wish to cheap-in for the cats and dogs. (http://joanneclarks.blogspot.com/)

Re: "Cheap in" for chip in

A wonderful find. I have a particular fondness for eggcorns that switch word categories (adj>>verb in this case) while retaining a fairly natural feel.
