- euvin 2y agoI thought you were making a joke about TikTok the social media app at first. I wonder how many other products were named TikTok.
- kylebenzle 2y agoIt was a ver common phrase. I think its been lost to history but right before "TikTok" the phrase "tic tock" was getting popular as a way to say, "the second-by-second run down", e.g. give me the tic tock.
- smelendez 2y agoThis was common in journalism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_(journalism) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_(journalism) But I haven’t heard it in a while.
- bobthepanda 2y agoI feel like the most popular pre-app wide popular usage would’ve been the Ke$ha song.

Agreed, a lot of the alternative usages that people are mentioning seem fake and I don't recall any of them being a thing. The only usage I recall being widespread was people saying tick tock to tell you to hurry up implying that the hands of a clock are moving. That and the little known novel from the 80's about a sentient murderous robot.
- lopis 2y agoI believe that by the end of the century half of the most common words of the English language will have been hostilely taken over and ruined by tech companies.
