Word of the Day: tittynope

tittynope (n)

A small quantity of something left over.

"Jebediah kept the late Captain Wagstaff's wooden leg in the attic, as a memento of his days at sea with the old salt. But after the cursed termites got to it, only a tittynope remained."
--Leahcim Setag, Strange Loops

I don't know why I have a hard time throwing leftovers away. We ordered Chinese a week ago, and there's a tittynope of lo mein still in the refrigerator, slowly congealing. Most unappetizing. I don't think any amount of microwaving could resurrect it into an edible state. "Lo mein" is Chinese for "tossed noodles", by the way. And that's what I should do -- toss it.
