A tic is a malfunctioning repetitive behavior, usually expressed as either a physical movement, or vocal sound. Tics are common in people who suffer from certain mental illnesses like autism and Tourette's syndrome.

A tic is also the sound that certain clocks, stopwatches, and bombs make as the second hand counts seconds.
