Jim Dale on Pushing Daisies

Magpie:
Twee's an old word.:-) (But not used a lot so it's not unusual not 
to hear it.) It means overly precious or cute in an affected way. I 
didn't find it funy either. I like "Keeping Up Appearances" too--
and "As Time Goes By," might be the one you're thinking of, if your 
PBS station schedule is the same as mine, that is.

Tiffany:

There's another use, mostly music circles called twee pop which started 
to appear in 1998 or 1999.  I'm a huge music lover & it's one of my 
oldest passions in my 21 years of being around.  It's also used to 
refer to indie pop & can be either good or bad depending on how it's 
connotation.  I have over 1,000 CDs in my personal collection & music 
is one of two things I can a stickler for details on, the other being 
card games, but I'm typically not a "details person".

The following definition is copied from Wikinitionary's entry on it.
