What is Penny wise?

Penny Wising- To make a malicious joke, or saying things that are funny yet mean.

This came about as my friend and I were talking, and referenced the the movie IT in which the clown character who is suppose to be funny is actually very malicious.
This saying is now widely used in our area.

I was just Penny wising.

What does "Penny wise" mean?

Where someone compulsively saves money by buying super-cheap-priced foods like crackers and white bread, not caring/realizing that these salty/sugary/"empty-carbs" foods will make him gain unhealthy weight in a hurry. Ben Franklin was always sagely expounding about stuff like this, and just look at da deplorable "tubby" shape HE was in!

That balloon-bodied dude with clogged arteries in the ER never eats health-food stuff "'cuz it costs too much" --- talk about "penny-wise and pound-foolish" --- what good is being a penny-pincher and "fattening" your bank account if you're also gradually fattening YOURSELF in the process???
