tittynope
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: tittynopes
Etymology: Originally Yorkshire dialect for a small quantity of grain in gleaning. EDD gives titty-mouse, found in West Yorkshire, as a synonym; the same word has an additional meaning of titmouse (“small bird, chickadee”) in the dialects of Lancashire and Norfolk, and is likely a variant thereof.
By analogy, tittynope might be from tit (“chickadee; bit, morsel”) + -y + nope (“bullfinch, titmouse”). Note that "tit-nope" is attested dialectally, referring to the blue tit.
On the other hand, some websites give a derivation from tittle (“dot of the letter i; modicum, speck”). There are many similar-sounding words meaning "small" such as itty-bitty and little, so the first part of the word could simply be an example of sound symbolism; although if the etymology above is correct, it likely derives from the same source as the bird tit.
Senses: examples: text: When I ask if she can spare a tittynope of her love for this hopeless sailor
ref: 2016, Leah Edwards, “Love like Popchips”, in Wooden Teeth (The George Washington University), volume 39, page 29, column 1:

text: While delivering the final blow to the multi-million-dollar patent-medicine industry, the spectre of the black cocainomaniac—just what the doctor ordered— helped secure the image of the doctor as public benefactor, an image tarnished by a miracle “feel-good” drug, the prescription of which put a doctor on par with a cosmetologist or wine-merchant, who catered to whims rather than needs, and it is in keeping with the tradition of modern medical practice that shortly after the eradication of cocaine, the American medical community began touting a new “feel-good” drug—the amphetamines—synthetic, marketable, and well under the medical thumb—and probably the most dangerous piece of chemistry since Alfred Nobel gave us dynamite.
