Ghost Ticks

Two grey ticks that appear when a message is sent on chat app WhatsApp. They are ghost ticks when the person is online but have not read your message and turned the ticks blue yet, implying the person is on another chat.

I messaged her but I got ghost ticks.

Tick on a Stick

Another way of describing an engorged head of a penis.
similar to "purple headed warrior", it reflects the shiny, purple hue that full ticks and boners seem to have.
Not totally sure if this is applicable to uncircumcised penises.....

Better give that little pussycat some Frontline, 'cause she's gonna get some of my Tick on a Stick!

Hey Brian, you are such a tick nerd. I can't believe you actually have a tick action figure.

tick damage

1- In fighting games, the kind of damage (usually around 1 percent of his/her life meter per hit) that your opponent suffers when he/she blocks a special attack. Characters such as Blanka, Honda, Sakura, and Chun Li (as well as others with multi-hit supers) are especially known for being able to utilize this as a major form of their offense. For some characters (coughCABLE) this is exaggerated to an absolutely preposterous degree. (see AHVB)

2- Any small or slight amount of damage

"Keep turtling; I'll just tick damage you to death with A-Sakura."

"I bumped into the car behind me while trying to get out of my parking space, but luckily all my bumper incurred was tick damage."

Settle for Ticks

This is phrase that can be roughly translated to "it could be worse." It is derived from the idea that there are far worse things in this world than ticks (the pesky, tiny arachnid). One who sees the silver lining in a situation would "settle for ticks," in favor of a more terrible outcome.

-"Damnit! I can't believe we don't have floor seats."

-"Hey man, I'd settle for ticks, we could be up on the balcony, and then we wouldn't even be able to see the band."
