zipped-up
Sealed by teeth
Zipped-up describes something fastened with a zipper: a zipped-up jacket.
Figuratively, a zipped-up person is tightly controlled, reserved, or unwilling to talk: He stayed zipped-up about the deal until the papers were signed.
The phrase suggests containment—emotions, information, or personality kept securely closed.
