Examples

  • "It's a very tight outfit, very well run."
Exercise 1
Kevin says the factory in Wales is "a very tight outfit".

This means the factory .
Kevin says the factory in Wales is "a very tight outfit".

This means the factory is well organized.
is well organized: This is the best definition. A way of saying something is very well managed is to say it's a "tight outfit". It means it's under control and works smoothly. Another example: "Delavigne's Marketing Department is a very tight outfit. Susie manages her department very well".
is experiencing financial problems: This is not the correct choice. The term "tight outfit" does not mean that the factory is experiencing financial problems. However, if someone is mean or miserly with their money, they can be described as "tight". This does not necessarily mean they don't have much money. It just means they like to keep it!
requires employees to wear tight clothing: This is not the correct choice! It is not correct in this context. An "outfit" is synonymous with "clothes" and some people do like to wear their clothes tight (close-fitting). For example, I think we all remember Linford Christie's "tight outfit" in the Olympics!
employs a small number of workers: This is not the right choice. To be a "tight outfit" does not mean to have a small work force, or few employees.
