From one of the online dictionaries: titchy or tichy (ˈtɪtʃɪ)  | | | — adj , titchier , titchiest , tichier , tichiest | | slang ( Brit ) very small; tiny | | [C20: from tich or titch a small person, from Little Tich, the stage name of Harry Relph (1867--1928), English actor noted for his small stature] Didn't realise it is apparently British slang, but given that both creators spent some of their childhood in the U.K., it being used here isn't that unlikely. |

That must be an English thing Bill, we don't use that term here in America.

I don't remember trying to figure out her t-shirt before, but it bears remembering that the days of casually wearing a t-shirt that says "bitch" were still many years to come when that page was drawn. So were the days of comic pros trying to sneak "dirty" words into all-ages comics.Except for "Flamin'". Man, that Wolverine used to cuss up a blue-streak with everything being "Flamin'" this and "Flamin'" that.

…t it bears remembering that the days of casually wearing a t-shirt that says "bitch" were still many years to come when that page was drawn.•• Not so, as I had discovered strolling the streets of NYC a few months earlier. Keep in mind, tho, that Kitty is from Chicago. Her shirt is the logo of the Illinois Theater Company. At least, that's what I planned to tell the Code, if anyone asked!

He said Wolverine was the kind of guy who would use F*CK for punctuation, as in "in-f*cking-credible!" whereas Ben Grimm was the kind of guy who would actually SAY "blankety-blank".

I wish that were still the case, I don't like profanity.

No chance then, that Kitty had interacted with her future self again (but prior to the first time), a future self who had seen the movie 'Hitch', but decided she didn't like Will Smith, but present day Kitty wore the T-Shirt anyway? ;)
