What does this refer to? (I must be missing something easy)

Think of a nut and a bolt. You screw the nut onto the bolt, until it is secure–that is, tight.

It’s a play on the multiple meanings of “nut.” Most people might automatically jump to the edible kind, such as peanuts, cashews, and similar. Few, I’d imagine, would automatically jump to the fastener. But a secure nut on its bolt, is indeed “tight.”

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. Meaning, to tighten a screw, turn it right. To loosen it, turn it left.

Funny, I didn’t think of the edible kind for your clue. I thought there was a hidden meaning I wasn’t seeing.

Your nuts might be secure in your tighty-whities too. :grin:
