@drewnogal saidRead the word (titivation) the first time here, though evidently it has been in use for About 200 years 😲
Must confess, I’d gone for titillation, spelt it with one L and my iPad corrected it to titivation, thus thought I’d been mispronouncing the word for the whole of my life?

@ponderable saidOn reflection I have heard the word used before though never had myself until today.

I find it interesting how our brains unconsciously, one day decide to add a new word into our conversational vocabulary. It always makes me think - “Wow, I just came out with a new word!” 😯

What do you think Shakespeare did to make up all the words he did? Maybe titivation will take off too😉 It IS a verb I think.
