 | | NATwA has a sister organization, known as ETwA, in England; of English winkers Kahn observes, "They're even nerdier than we are." Like participants in many other sports and games, winkers have developed a distinctive jargon. |
 | | They may say, for instance, "I can't pot my nurdled wink, so I'll piddle you free and you can boondock a red." Tiddlywinks apparently enjoyed something of an efflorescence in the United States in the late 1960s and the 1970s, after which it entered a period of mild decline. |
 | | Kahn blames this on the nation's having experienced a time of cynical economic opportunism and creeping spiritual discontent, which together eroded the bedrock of silliness upon which the edifice of tiddlywinks is erected. |
