I've definitely fucking felt it before, luckily only a little 120VAC tickle, but yea I felt it

As a kid, I used to purposely stick my fingers between prongs while plugging Christmas lights in in order to electrocute myself. It's shocking that I came out from that unscathed.

Electrocution is electric execution. Assuming you're still alive, you shocked yourself. Pet peeve of a former electrician, forgive me.

I share your pain. In EMS, I have to bite my tongue on every "electrocution" call.
