'Stony broke' có từ 'stony' ngoài nghĩa phủ đầy đá còn mang nghĩa không một xu dính túi -> không có tiền, có rất ít tiền, không một xu dính túi.
Ví dụ
This particular publican was certainly bucking (ăn diện) the trend by refusing card payments. I grew up in an era where living in a cashless society simply meant that you were stony broke.

Finding herself stony broke after a break-up, Queenie must move into the cheapest room in Brixton that she can find. This is when she begins a painful and unfulfilling sexual odyssey, trying to heal herself by sleeping with a series of fantastically deplorable (tồi tệ) men who fetishise and racially stereotype her body.
The contributors (người đóng góp) to the collection of essays, Know Your Place, and the selection of poetry, memoir (hồi kí) and fiction, Common People, are of many different ethnicities, religions and sexual orientations. There are academics and autodidacts (người tự học), people who are now financially comfortable alongside those who are still stony broke.
