Editor, over revisions tonight, goes:
"You're too uptight."

- Me, uptight? Oh sir, you are too modest. I wouldn't have done it without you!
- Personality not recognized, sir. (Ramos, 2012)
- Or so I've been told... wink wink.
- Ah yes, the sleep- and sex-deprived mind works in mysterious ways.
- Between "uptight" and "semi-deranged," well, yeah.
- Gusto ko happy ka (Enrile, 2010)
- Uh...lose the belt and pleats first then I'll see what I can do.
- You don't like it? What a shame!
- Just slightly. I try not to let anyone notice, heehee.
- Yeah, it's the "in" thing nowadays.
