tiddly n The game of _tiddley_ is enjoyed by both boys and girls. It's played by using two sticks; one about a foot long, the Tiddley stick and another about three feet long. Two stones are arranged so that the ends of the Tiddley stick rest on them. The other stick is used to hook the Tiddley stick as far as possible. Of a member of the opposing team catches it, you're out. Yes DNE-cit JH 11/73 G.M. Story [-]but if they[-] Used I Used I 1 Used I tiddlywink, PIDDLY, tiddley, piddley, tiddly stick, tiddley-stick
