In a world dominated by the short form; circuit circumventing media, "Tick Tock / tick-tick" refers to a concept that has evolved alongside the digital age, primarily influenced by the advent of fast-paced, short-form media platforms, with TikTok being a prime example. Video killed the radiostar, and this term killed tldr, replacing it as the symbol the quickening pace of both media consumption and societal change because nobody even reads anymore. Originating from the simple mimicry of a clock's sound, it now encompasses a broader range of meanings. These include the traditional notion of time's progression and urgency, as well as varied colloquial uses. In everyday language, it appears as a flexible expression, adaptable to different contexts from casual conversation to specific subcultures. The term's adaptability reflects its ability to capture the nuances of contemporary life, serving as a linguistic tool that shifts in meaning according to its use and setting.

Get the Tick Tockmug. Ticks are what the Overwatch community usually uses to describe the marks that show up when a team captures part of a point (past 33% on Hybrid or Assault/2CP, the progress saves and is shown by a "tick" – a small arrow – in the UI).
eg:New York Excelsior get 0 ticks in this match.
In this context, NYXL getting 0 ticks means they never got to 33% on Hybrid or Assault's Point A.
