In the process of reading through my unfinished (it's close, I swear!) Handy/alt!Ace, platypus informed me that common British usage for the word "tidbit" is in fact "titbit."

I think I must feel the same way about "titbit" that the British folks feel about "fanny pack."

TITBITS. It's never going to stop being funny.

(BTW, if any of said British folk want to step in and correct or confirm this usage, please feel free.)

I can neither confirm nor deny the usage, but somehow this makes "it's a titbit nipply" more appropriate, and I'm using it from now on.

p.s. Antony says Stephen Fry says puritanical Americans changed 'titbit' to 'tidbit'.

My Scouse wife says "titbit" is correct.

Reminds me of the time I took an Australian friend to her first baseball game and told her if we got there early, we could watch the players shag flies during batting practice. She almost did a spit-take with her soda.

I triple dog dare you to write a story about Rose's breasts using the word "titbits."

I saw 'titbit' in the wild on DWF today. Yep, still funny.
