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.

A word or phrase used to tell someone to hurry up, that they are taking too long, or that time is ticking. Often substituted for Tick Tock.

as opposed to the typical pronunciation "thickness" which refers to a thick, desirable, voluptuous woman (usually with a large behind and fine curves), this word is pronounced tick-ness, so as to adhere more to the gangster accent/origin from which the term is derived

To acquire something immediately but pay for it later. Most often used when buying drugs but quite valid for any kind of purchase.
There are thee possible origins of the term:
* The vendor keeps a list of who owes what, and "ticks" them off the list on payment
* The vendor has to wait, the clock is ticking
* The customer is a filthy parasite, like a tick on a dogs back.
