To be good at talking and indeed at convincing people to do your bidding through verbal means. Akin to the expression - "sell ice to the eskimos".

Historically an English expression, it originated because Scots are notoriously tight with money.

A turn of phrase coined by The Tight Arts Appreciation Society used to describe a person who is a veritable expert in the art of frugality.

A play on words, it acts to quash the stigma attached to a person who would normally be referred to in a vulgar manner as a tight arse. The word arse in this instance, is changed to arts – a phonetical similarity yet with an intentionally stark reference in meaning. Unlike the personal traits of a Tight Arse, the Tight Artist’s sparing and economical ways are celebrated and revered. It is a hearty attempt to upturn the negative connotations attached to those who are thrifty.

Through this process of destigmatisation, a Tight Artist, by definition, becomes a person who saves money in creative ways. This is a rather more pleasing and palatable definition in comparison to that of the vulgarly named tight arse – someone disliked for being tight, stingy or miserly with their money.

A Tight Artist is not stingy. Just savvy. Because saving money is an artform.

very tight with money, cheap or tight fisted with cash. This was a real word in the 1800's that was dropped for lack of use.

Your so cheap that you can't get to your money in your pockets and if you could you wouldn't because there is sharp glass in the bottom, therefore you won't try to get your money. Cheapskate.
