Definition

A wealthy suburbanite who lives in a McMansion and drives a luxury car but still eats like a frugal immigrant, subsisting on lentils and leftovers to squeeze every penny. The embodiment of 'live below your means' taken to its most ironic extreme—why order takeout when you can retire at 45?

Example Usage

Rajesh is such a dhaal wala—his Tesla is parked in front of a $2 million house, but he brings tupperware of lentils to the office every single day.
