Favorite Words: Vellicate

From dictionary dot come: 

vellicate\ VEL-i-keyt \ , verb;
  •  To touch (a body part) lightly so as to excite the surface nerves and cause uneasiness, laughter, or spasmodic movements.
  • To irritate as if by a nip, pinch, or tear.
  • To move with spasmodic convulsions.

How FUN is this word?!  Who even knew there was one single word for this action?!  Wowee!  I'm in love with it!   (And if you already knew it, hats off!  I'm in love with you now, too!  *laughing*)
