One of the great things about Nikki in this year’s Big Brother — other than the great way that the Geordie voice-over man pronounces her name: Nih’ee — is her totally-made-up-phrases™.
This evening’s totally-made-up-phrase™ was: “Whatever tickles your pickle!”
What on earth does that mean?! “Whatever tickles your pickle!” What could she possibly have mixed that phrase with? Whatever floats your boat. It’s so left-field it is almost genius.
I love pickle.

Me too. It was what I most missed whilst I was in Sweden for three and a half months as an ordinand. Dill pickles just don’t cut the mustard.
I’m usually a lurker come over from the Join Me page, but I felt the need to address this – Nikki’s not the only one to use that phrase! I use it a lot, it’s just another way of saying ‘Whatever tickles your fancy’. 🙂
Welcome Alia.
That’s great! I’ve never heard the phrase before (although I did guess what it meant). It was just so funny when Nikki said it. 😀
