Tight as a Tick

Play episode
The expression tight as a tick is inspired by the idea of being full-to-bursting, like one of those insects when it’s engorged with blood. Tight as a tick can also describe someone who’s quite drunk or very miserly. Other phrases that connote extreme tightness are tight as a drum and tight as a duck’s butt. This is part of a complete episode.
