I may close voting early if all players who submitted definitions have voted. So, if you didn't submit one but want to vote, please vote early or let me know that you'll vote later.
You can vote if you didn't submit a definition (or even if you've never played before). The only requirement is that you not know what TITTYNOPE means, If you recognize it, and didn't let me know earlier that you know its meaning, please say so now.
