English Word of the Day...

Tick...

Translated to American it's like 'second'. Like the tick of a clock. Mostly used in phrases like...'I'll be there in a tick' or 'Can you call me back in a tick'. Another word used interchangably with this one is tinkle. Tinkle just cracks me up, as I think of a little child going wee wee when I hear tinkle.
