👉 Tick-tock is a term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to refer to the time interval between two consecutive ticks on a clock. These are known as "ticks," which are small marks or marks of some kind, usually placed at intervals for synchronization or timing purposes. The term can also be used to describe the frequency with which a particular event occurs within a given period of time, such as in a countdown or an alarm system.
