Probably a good idea not to ask the Dwarves on this question.
"That chest was as tight as some of the pinches Bilbo Baggins had found himself in. Maybe not as tight as the time Smaug nearly roasted him, but definitely much tighter than when he was locked in the Elf-King's palace for weeks, doomed to roam the halls invisible while his friends rotted in the dungeons."

"Tighter'n Dick's hatband."
My daddy was fond of that one, and used it to denote fiscal conservatism and things difficult to open.
