How it's used
This term describes a personality that combines extreme stinginess with a malicious, backstabbing nature. It is much stronger than simply being mean or stingy, implying a calculated intent to cause harm or suffering to others. It is often used to describe someone who is not only cruel in their actions but also cold and calculating in their thoughts.
Examples
He is a wicked and insidious person who is always plotting to harm others.
Why do you have to say such wicked and insidious things?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 刻薄, which primarily focuses on being stingy or harsh in treatment. 刻毒 adds a layer of malicious intent and hidden danger that 刻薄 lacks.
