Reminder for British people: the correct word is “titbits”. Only Americans say “tidbits”, and it’s an error on their part. Please don’t make yourself look thick by doing the same.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

"Fun" etymological note:

Many Brits tease Americans for using "tidbit" over "titbit", as if it were due to some Puritanical censorship of "tit".

However, "tyd bit" / "tid bit" seems to pre-date "titbit".

"Tyd" or "tid" meant "tender", so a "tyd bit" typically meant a small, tender morsel.

Both are valid, but neither is a sign of censored or vulgarised language: just linguistic shift in British English.
