Being tini
Created | Updated Feb 26, 2002
Being tini [rhymes with beanie] is a seductive, sedative, chronic way of life. Objectively it is best to avoid, subjectively it is impossible to ignore.
The state of tininess is brought about by excessive use of the mild narcotic 'tini', under the influence of which the world dissolves into a languid, unhurried place. Except that time passes at a hugely variable rate, so that a cigarette can burn in your fingers for hours while never reaching more than half way down the butt; while on other occasions you can spend 20 minutes making a cup of tea before realising that all you've done is put the kettle in the fridge.
It's bad for you.
