Back tick? Is this time going backwards? It is a tick that suck blood out of ones back? Lyme disease?
Never heard if it before either..but if you look in top left corner of screen when you go to drudge there is a tiny hash mark that runs top left to bottom right like an accent mark in a spanish word.
Now I never heard of tbis on drudge before but some are saying in this thread it means a big story is breaking soon on drudge.
Not sure if that is true or not...but I do see the mark
Maybe it is a nervous tick?
