What does TICTAC mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The system of arm and hand signals that racecourse bookmakers' helpers use to pass betting odds across a crowd.
At British horse races, a tictac man stands on a box and waves his arms, touches his hat or nose and flashes his fingers, passing the changing odds from one bookmaker to another over the noise. The lively gestures look like a secret code, and the craft is now rare because phones and screens have replaced it. The word can also mean the ticking sound of a clock.
