It's "itsy bitsy." "Incy wincy" is a relatively rare variation in the U.S.

The original version is "the blooming, bloody spider."

[Seesaw15]

Well fuck me. Sorry for being snarky OP I thought you were just making up shit.

 

[KahooTs]

It's Incy Wincy spider and that's his name. The other lyric is washed poor Incy out.

People have changed it because they didn't get it, Americans probably, but that's how the shit went.

Itsy Bitsy. Any "Incy Wincy" motherfuckers need to be fired (out of a cannon, into the sun).

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Tiny?

I guess I only know "itsy bitsy" to mean tiny because of this song...so, like, if it were a different pair of similarly sounding nonsense words, it wouldn't be that weird.

Maybe it is regional. I grew up in the Midlands with a Dad from Yorkshire and a Mum from Scotland.

WTF, the line is "and washed the spider out"

What the fuck kind of bizarro world am I in!? Incy wincy!? Good lord.

 

[Superflat]

I was so certain when reading the title that it was 1000% itsy bitsy.

But I can recall Incy Wincy as a child.

Now I don't know. I'm so conflicted.

THANKS OP

While we are at it, these are fucking biscuits.

My god, there must be some small union in the UK that has been butchering this song all along and has brainwashed you people into thinking of this spider named Incy Wincy. I ain't ever heard of him.
