The Crossword clue "'Being slightly ___ is like being slightly pregnant — it tends to get worse': Molly Ivins" with the answer "PARANOID" references a quote by journalist and political commentator Molly Ivins.
In this context, the term "paranoid" suggests that having even a small amount of paranoia can escalate over time, much like a pregnancy that cannot be "slightly" experienced; once you're pregnant, you are fully pregnant.
