“flit the house” is a phrase I have known since I was born used in my household by everyone.

Never knew Flit was an insecticide brand. I thought it is an actual word that means to spray from an an aerosol spray can.

damn! 🤦🏾‍♂️

It's also a verb and a noun. Verb - to move swiftly. Noun - An act of moving from one location to another surreptitiously.
