'Neat as a pin' = sạch như lau như li, gọn gàng, ngăn nắp.

Ví dụ
The engine bay is neat as a pin and highly symmetrical (cân đối). The heater and wiper motor have been removed for a super-clean firewall. The reservoirs (bình chứa) on the engine are for power steering and radiator overflow, while the painted tanks behind the headlights are a fuel chiller and more radiator overflow.

This one-bedroom rental on the top floor of a Neo-Grec row house in Park Slope appears neat as a pin and has historic appeal with details such as a mantel (mặt lò sưởi) and wood floors with an inlay (khảm, dát) border. Just a short walk from Prospect Park, it’s located at 1222 8th Avenue, in the Park Slope Historic District Extension.

Neighbor Mary Byrnes recalled Thursday how Mila Mangold was “always neat as a pin” in her pastel dresses that buttoned from the hem (viền) to the neckline and were belted at the waist. Her hair was always coiffed and she wore “half stockings,” which ended above her knee, that Byrnes would see when Mangold bent over to put her oranges into paper or plastic Safeway bags.
