Chintz...and is usually glazed.

Fabric are now days treated with synthetic glazes. in times past, starch was the most common glaze. (any one familiar with starch fabric know, when over starch, the fabric can have a hard glossy finish.)

some starches, like oat starch will disolve in water, once and then resist disolving again.

cheap, lightweight fabic, was often glazed, like chintz, to make it feel more substainial, firmer. as the glaze washed/wore off, the substandard quality of the cloth was evident...
leading to chintzy, meaning of poor quality, and from there to cheap and shoddy

it just an other case of first impressions being wrong..

i though Keiva was an ok guy, but now, i realize he is chintzy.. sub standard, cheap and shoddy.
he used extortion to get back on the board after he was banned.
