Adverbs used to describe how ticklish someone is

[tickletherapist]

In Russian we don't say "I am ticklish". Instead it's something like "I'm afraid of tickling", literally. So I'm probably off topic.

One extremely ticklish girl I knew always said about tickling "it's horrible!" or "I'm horribly afraid of tickling" with an intonation that made you want to tickle her silly
Another said "it's like sitting on electric chair".

As a few have mentioned, Excruciatingly"" is one of my faves but to add new one to this thread (I think) "Ridiculously" is a good one.

Seductively ticklish

While playing in an orchestra, I lightly tickled a fellow percussionist on her ribs (with one finger!).

She dissolved into giggles. "Never do that again," she cooed. "I'm exceedingly ticklish."

(Thanks, Mr. Tickle, for bumping such a cool thread!)

Nice! “Exceedingly” is very proper. I hope you poked her ribs repeatedly and quickly, in a percussive manner.

Nice! Love the nuances of how different languages treat topics. Like, shouldn’t there be a different word for light, sensual and agonizing tickles, versus intense digs?

...paralyzingly ticklish?

 

[IndeJenDence]

I've often used "hella ticklish", but that isn't quite as fancy as some of these other ones.

Mind-blowingly ticklish, perhaps?

Insanely, ridiculously, stupid ticklish. I haven't looked over the entire thread, so I hope I didnt double up on any!

I'm afraid we only got this in Latin. I mean knismesis and gargalesis. And I'm not even sure about the exact meanings. Knismesis is probably more like itching. It is said it generally does not induce laughter. But we in fact induce smile and laughter by light sensual tickles.

Deathly Ticklish is a favorite

Wow, you guys get responses. Usually if I ask if someone's ticklish it's a simple yes. Sometimes I'll get "very". Rarely I'll get "extremely".

Of course I've had a couple anomalies (EDIT: that I overlooked weren't adverbs). One was "I'm so ticklish you could put your finger right by my feet and I'd start laughing just in anticipation". Another was "I'm a tickle bug. Everyone tickles me".

Of course those didn't last long. ....
