Razor tight

Buck Sexton was talking about the tight poll numbers for the upcoming U.S. Presidential election on his show, Clay and Buck. He referred to the race as “razor tight”. This is a congruent conflation of “tight race” and “razor-thin margin”, both describing very close situations. “Airtight” (no noticable flaw or weakness) might also be in the mix, adding to the “narrow” context. A big thanks to Verbatim for hearing this one and sending it in!
