A man who goes to great lengths to avoid risk, embarassment, or exposure. i.e., if the
belt should
break, the suspenders will keep his pants on. Not quite paranoid, but on his
way there. Can also be said of a man with something to hide. (or less than something as the case may be)
Lars, a real
belt-and-suspenders man, saves every single
email he sends and receives and archives them to
CD, claiming "you just can't be too careful".
