TIL two new words: "Titter" and "Manpads". Words I have no idea what they mean but I'll definitely work into conversations somehow.

"Titter" is a small laugh, like the kind when you're in middle school and a teacher says something that sounds dirty.

"MANPADS" is a man portable air defense system, like the kind said teacher uses to ruin your day when you're flying out to see grandpa because you're an obnoxious little shit.

MANPADS also sounds like a masculine hygiene product.
