The Tick

n : A superhero character created by comicbook writer Ben Edlund. The Tick comic spawned an animated TV series (1994-1997) and a short lived live-action series (2001).

The Tick was characterized by his blue costume, a never-say-die attitude, his child like personality, an unyeilding definition of justice and his need to uphold it. His superpowers consisted of nigh-invulnerability and super-human strength. His main catch phrase was "SSSSPPPPOOOONNNN".

His main ally was Arthur (Mothman) who had the ability to fly, but he also teamed up with Speak (The Furry, Moist Avenger) who was a Mexican Capybara and Little Wooden Boy a little wooden boy The Tick carved himeself. Other superheros in the Tick universe are American Maid, Die Fledermaus and Sewer Urchin. Supervillians he battled included Chairface Chippendale, Dinosaur Neil and the Swedish Army.
Tick: And so, may Evil beware and may Good dress warmly and eat lots of fresh vegetables.

Tick: Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

fat as a tick

adj. Bloated and obese. Derives from the state of a tick(parasitic insect) after it has gorged itself on a host mammal's blood. Not complimentary. I've heard it in the context of Australian slang, but I'm sure it's spoken all over the place.

Tick-Tock

An extremely questionable weekend destination in Canton, N.Y. where college students go. One "dances" in the Tick-Tock, and is tipically inebreated at this location. One also tends to go with the intent of getting laid.
"Wow, the Tick-Tock was a waste of five dollars."
"Dude, I know, we just gave away our money to the Fat Man."

"I was so drunk at the Tick-Tock, I don't remember making out with him at all!"
