Nit and Tight are not synonyms
As I recall, Felicia was kind enough to point out that the original meaning of 'NIT' in cardrooms was to characterize people who obsess over the the rules and infractions, and are likely to call for the floor every third hand.
I know there's no stopping the tide, but I think we've got plenty of words for 'tight', without co-opting this one.
