titchy

A very small person or amount; tiny. Originated from a famous music hall comedian from the late 1800s named "Little Tich," who was about four feet tall. Not to be confused with tetchy (irritable).

I went out with that boy again last night, and he sure was titchy, so I dumped him!

Give me just a titch more coffee.
