ticklers
Things causing giggles
Ticklers are reminders or memory aids, especially files or systems for tracking future tasks.
In business, a tickler file holds documents organized by date to prompt action: The invoice went into the tickler for follow-up next week.
The term comes from the idea of something that tickles your memory.
Ticklers can also mean things or people that tickle, though this use is less common than the organizational sense.
