I guess I figured it was even more anal retentive/tighter than a frogs ass than a rock? Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 So is nit the same as a "rock"? I guess I figured it was even more anal retentive/tighter than a frogs ass than a rock?Well...I think there's a little distinction. In my mind, a rock is a very tight player...whereas a nit is more "cheap" and avoids "gambling" as much as possible. Basically, neither's likely to give much action, but the motivations might be slightly different. Link to post Share on other sites
