Somebody used the word 'oscillate' in a sentence, and I am convinced I have heard this only once before in (a) Blackadder. I am not sure if this is an example of the Mandela Effect, but if anyone can clarify I'd greatly appreciate. I feel like it was a term Edmund used.

Stephen Fry said: How do you titillate an ocelot? Answer: "By oscillating its tits a lot"

It just wasn't in Blackadder 👍

I have a feeling that this is correct, hence the Mandela Effect reference

I need that applause in the same way that an ostler needs his ostle.

Prince Regent: "Are you a follower of the Pimpernel?"

Blackadder: "Well, sir, it's a tricky one... my family has always tended to oscillate between ardent Royalism and savage Republicanism."

Google says this but I don't remember it.
