A euphemism for a piddling amount, a trifle, a quantity of no consequence to be dismissed.

Also, perhaps the closest thing to a justifiably holier-than-thou business possible under world capitalism: organic vegetables delivered by bicycle. A friend works for them, his labours consisting of towing around a massive bike trailer full of tupperware tubs of hot healthy goodness. Occasionally he stops by on his route and gives me gifts of bananas, a kiwi, a tomato and a clove of garlic.
