My mum told me that a few meant 3, some meant 5, several meant 7, and many or lots meant more than 12.

I would suggest a Tic is a measurement of time moving forward, and a Mo ( moment) is a position in time. But all very contradictory.
Perhaps someone ca determine a more precise definition Mr DaveW, I'm sure they won't be a tic.
