Anonymous · Answer

In the US, the word "game" is currently trendy with single men in their 20's and 30's, and is used, either as a noun or a verb, in a number of contexts. For example:

Sports: This guy you're up against is supposed to be good, so keep your game tight (i.e.: be conservative and cautious) until you see what he can do.

Poker: I heard one of the guys from out-of-town might be a mechanic (card sharp), so keep your game tight (be careful) until you can verify this.

Business: When you come into a company new like you are, you need to keep your game tight (be careful) until you know where you stand.

Romance: A lot of intelligent, educated women come into this bar, so keep your game tight (be careful how you approach the women in here).
