My cellphone ring is "Toreador." Which, when it rings, always earworms me with the Skipper singing "Neither a lender, nor a borrower be..." to the tune.

What is even happening?
(closed captioning has recently shown me I've been pronouncing 'tsk' wrong. am chagrined)How were you pronouncing it and what did closed captioning show you re the correction.
If I'm talking about someone who tsked me, I pronounce it like, "He tissked me." If I am the tsker, it's akin to a tongue cluck, but it's not clucky sounding, it's almost more of a kiss sound, but it's made by forcefully pulling the tip of the tongue down from the roof of the mouth--right behind the front teeth.

We used to have a record of whale songs that I apparently loved to listen to when I was 5ish. And there was another of sounds from space (I have no idea. Lots of whishing and weird sorta melodic whines. Must have been some sort of adjusted frequency thing) that I was fascinated with at 3.
You know what happens when you lose touch with someone for years? Life. Good gawd. I live a very sedate one.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have no cell phone. One of my co-workers has some sort of classical piece as his ringtone, which wouldn't be so bad except he leaves the phone(with ringer on) on his desk when he goes to lunch and it's very loud. This led to one day when someone called his cell phone every.two.minutes while he was at lunch. I could hear it, and I'm on the other side of the room from him.
I was amused to find an earring in my dresser.(I thought I lost it a few days ago) Then again, it was a cat-shaped earring, so it's not surprising it ended up among my clothes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But you're still going to lose a bit of speed from letting off the accelerator.
If someone behind me needs a warning, slowing down to give it to them (since most of the time the warning was "get further away from my rear end") seems a little dangerous.
Cindy -- the thing they CCed with "tsk" was more of a "st" sound. Was weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, Robin doesn't do all the closed captions. Sometimes they're wrong.

How do you say "tsk," Jesse? Because I've never seen that noise transliterated, nor heard "tsk" pronounced TSK. Seems quite plausible.

I think I'm with Cindy -- there's "tisk, tisk" and then there's the teeth-suck sound she described above.
