When I was learning CW I made the mistake of telling my kindergarten
class about this novice custom, and the entire school bus began chanting
"dit-diddle-it-dit" until I got off. Despite this early trauma, I
managed to get my license.
Bill W9ZN, the CW powerhouse of Chicago, will happily do the whole
dit-diddle-it-dit with you, and send EISH5 and BENS BEST BENT WIRE/5
too.

In the mid 70's, when I first started, QSOs were ended with "Shave and
a
hair cut" to which the other replied "2 bits". Of course it was all
done by sending dits to the rhythm.
