When I came to California from Australia, they used it with me... and I didn't understand what they meant. I literally told them I didn't know whether they were insulting me or complimenting me.
Tight
adj. Having the quality of being awesome; provoking positive interest.
synonyms: cool, awesome, grand, spectacular, amazing, incredible, yabai, etc.
As in... "Oh, that's tight, cuz!" [Golly, that is quite incredible, my fair man!]

Yeah, we personally don't use it here really around Chicago. Well, actually we
do, but it's more of a "South Side" thing. Most people know what it means in
that context, but we don't use it.

How is that possible to not develop a dialect in the area you're born and
raised in? How do you talk then?
