minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 个月前“tit” is old-style english mean “something small” or “a little bit”. You can still spot the word in old sayings like the biblical “Jot or tittle”. On the other hand, we also woodpeckers, which is kinda similar in that it has a common translation, but also a hilarious one.
