For many years we called one of my aunts "tee nag", and never knew why. Then after she died someone told me that it meant "little ninny"....but I alwaqys doubted that. Are any of you familiar with such a word that could have been a nickname (for Aunt Nola) or an affectionate name to call an aunt? Or even if it was a curse word or something not nice, I'd still like to know what it may have meant. Thanks, Joyce

Joyce, I have a cousin named Ronald that was called Tee Neg as a child. I was told it meant little boy.
