I can't actually make any english phonemes out of that suction sound, so I'm willing to accept tsk as what it's "called."
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"tsk" is like the sound you make for a horse to giddyup, or if you want to get a dog's attention.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

BMECT... no, it really does, since I didn't know people used the same sound for both. And neither of them are anything I'd use to a person to indicate disapproval.

Nuh-uh. For a horse, you do the sucking on the side thingy.
Oh, and I never want to get a dog's attention so I wouldn't know about that part.
I wish I weren't full, because I feel like eating popcorn. Maybe just a salt lick.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just feel bad for all you poor limited people.
Come with Lee and me to sushi some day.
YES, THIS!
I want sushi, but mostly I want dinner, which is 33 minutes late, so far.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
white asparagus from Germany...
Even the asparagus is white!
"Tsk" assuredly needs inbound air. Elswise, it is a !click.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Lee, when you come to Cincy, we will have some seriously KICKASS sushi.
Though you don't deserve it, really, because you [say it with me, now] SUCK.

I say either tisktisk or go with the non easily spelled, which is more like t-t-t-t. Or tutut. Depending on how you do the vowel. Or it is a complete clicking with the tongue thing that has no english translation.

That's right. But they're similar.
