#USgovernment is Considering a #TikTok-Ban ... So? @JudicialWatch @TikTok_US @Verge @MSN @MetroLyrics
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to MSN's 'embed' of The Verge's report on the Secretary-of-State Mike Pompeo's statements on the possible ban on the China-based app) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “TikTok” ( #TickTock #Tick-#Tock #Tic-#Tok) is built on ancient words that mean "a Light Touch or Tap (of-course Echoic of the Sound an Old Clock Makes)" (also a possible translation of the Chinese 蒂克托克 (douyin)—which also translates "to Make Fun of ( Insulting |Imitation)") ... but which I've heard is named after that Ke$ha-song.
"Tik tok, on the clock, but the party don't stop, no
Oh whoa-oh-oh, oh whoa-oh-oh"
