Bittock
Well, the real meaning for bittock was much easier than any of us probably imagined. It's a little bit. That will come in very handy when, on the odd occasion, I want only a small amount of something. It will be fun to ask for a bittock, please. I hope you'll find the word equally as useful. The meaning invented by Lorenzothellama was the favourite on the poll today. Great work!
