Yea, and it's also weird cause the word can have a different meaning in different places.
Like you picked the word "tight" which equals "cool".
But I've used it and I've heard it being used with (example) "My parents are so tight lately" or "It's tight that I have to go to the museum"

So I guess in the first example tight would = not very nice, or not giving and the second example tight would = sucks.
