OKay, I can hide my ignorance no longer.

What's ticky?

[pjthompson]

Short for "ticky boxes"--i.e., the little boxes you check off. Some pollsters offer Ticky as an option in their polls, which is sort of the equivalent of "Decline to state." I always play with that concept in the Monday Poll.

And here I'd envisioned some kinda food...like a sticky bun. Only, it's a ticky bun. ;)

[pjthompson]

And I'm not at all sure that wouldn't have been a much more interesting answer. :-)
