👉 The word "Tickled Pink Tees" comes from Old English, which means "to tickle a pink tongue." It refers to a specific type of shirt that was popular in medieval England. The shirt consisted of two pieces of fabric sewn together in the same way as a dress or top. Each piece had a separate neck line and included a decorative bow on the front. The name came from a common belief that tickling a pink tongue would make one feel like a "tickled" pink shirt, which could have been seen as an innuendo or playful affection.
