Tock

People typically tock at night. This is when two people lock their toes together, typically in bed. It would be the equivalent of holding hands but you are holding feet.

Last night Kya said to me we need to "tock". I asked "about what" and she said no this is where we lay in bed, lock toes and hold feet in a display of love and romance. Just like holding hands walking down the street, we will hold feet all night long with a tock.

Get the Tock mug.

Tick Tock

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.

(The way I am using it also includes all other definitions; that is, it is an open definition. If you find a contradiction please let me know.)

Let us use the platform known as tick tock.

Oh but there isn’t any time left.
