IDIOM FOR THE DAY - Tight-fisted To be "tight-fisted" is the opposit of being generous. So someone who does not like spending their money on anyone or anything is considered "tight-fisted". E.g. Tom always avoids paying for a round of drinks for his friends, he is really "tight-fisted". This expression comes from the shape of your hand closed around money, when you close your fingers around something your hand makes a "fist", boxers also make a "fist" of their hands when they fight.
