{{quote|"''Holy *tik* shrew! Lookit! She's my size -- with *tik* wings! I told you I sensed *tik* insect thoughts! Princess, I think I'm *tik* in love!"''|'''Bug''' from ''[[Micronauts]]'', on [[The Wasp|Wasp]]}}
An exceptionally odd [[Catch Phrase]] used to the point it seems more like a bodily emission than speaking. This is often a single nonsense word added at the end of sentences, well past the expected formal variations in speech, [[Self-Demonstrating Article|eh?]] It can also be a word, sound, or phrase that shows up in various places in a character's dialogue.
Contrast with [[Strange Syntax Speaker]], where the character is using language rules unknown to others. See also [[Character Tics]], for similar idiosyncrasies applied to physical behavior.
This is [[Truth in Television]] too, as this is extremely common in individuals with disorders such as Asperger's Syndrome and Tourette's. Plus, some regional dialects [[Valley Girl|like, totally]] also have a little bit of this as part of their local mannerisms, [[Canada, Eh?|eh]]?
Not to be confused with [[The Usual Suspects|Verbal Kint]].
