It would be interesting if people posted their approximate geographical location, where they grew up, and what the word "tiddler" suggests to them.
When you've never heard a word, your brain reaches for the closest one it can think of. To most members of the largest English speaking country on the planet -- larger than the UK by a factor of 6 -- "tiddler" doesn't mean anything. I grew up with fishermen, and no one used "tiddler". However, this very bad, very similar-sounding word <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Diddler> does mean something to anyone who reads modern literature or watches Netflix. Be sure to scroll down to look at definition #2. To be sure, it's a recent definition, coming in the last 30 years or so. But that's how language changes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
