People who misuse phrases. 'What makes you tick' is the thing that motivates you and keeps you going, like a clock. Exactly like a clock, in fact.

I dispute this. It's not referring to
a clock that makes
you tick, it's referring to
the mechanism that makes
the clock tick.
"If cogs and gears make a clock tick and keep it going, what makes you tick and keeps you going?"
