ungenerous

Rod Dreher, an American commentator who converted to Orthodoxy but shares ideological ground with Catholic traditionalists, called the homily “mean-spirited and ungenerous.”

“People are afraid they’re going to sound cheap or ungenerous when talking about splitting the bill, but talking about money can be a normal thing,” Ms. Meier wrote.

There’s a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior, the researchers write: Unlike personality traits, sleep can be modified — and both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.

Maybe that’s an ungenerous way to respond to a study on an important social issue by a respected, nonpartisan think tank.

Every day carries its unique characteristics; it seems ungenerous to regard any day as standard or routine.
