A tic is a spasm of the facial muscles. A short sharp sound is a TICK

And while we're on a roll, could the whole usenet/web-forum world now
please stop saying "revert back" instead of "revert" and "loose" when
they mean "lose" .

And "alot" instead of "a lot".

And "ass" instead of "arse".

People on the left of the Atlantic have asses, people on the right have
arses. And asses, but they normally call them donkeys. Or politicians.....

Make that ".... right of the Atlantic and left of the Pacific". In those
places there is no direct donkey connotation (or confusion) to the word.
