This is your parents' 10 PM curfew. It's your terror prof's 'no extension' policy. It's when the budget is so tight you can only afford instant noodles until the next payday ('gipit' is a cousin). **Kahigpitan** is that feeling of being squeezed, whether by rules or by finances.
From `ka-`...`-an` (denoting quality or state) around `higpit` (tightness, strictness).
Can refer to the strictness of rules, the tightness of a space or object, or financial difficulty (kagipitan).
