'My little cup brims with tiddles' についてのChatGPTの説明は以下の通りでした。

In the context of the novel, this sentence is spoken by the protagonist, Humbert Humbert, as he describes a childhood memory of his first love, Annabel. The phrase "My little cup brims with tiddles" is a metaphorical expression conveying his intense and overflowing feelings of desire and attraction for Annabel. The word "tiddles" in this context refers to a colloquial term for feelings of sexual excitement or arousal.

It's important to note that "Lolita" is a complex and controversial novel, exploring themes of obsession, desire, and the destructive power of illicit relationships. The use of language and metaphors throughout the book often reflects Humbert's disturbed and unreliable perspective.

"My little cup brims with tiddles" の説明としては大体納得でき、辞書には出ていなかった "tiddles" の解説はなるほどと思いました。　但し、"cup" が具体的には何を示しているかの説明がなかったので、辞書をみると、"a hard cover worn by men to protect their sex organs when playing sports" の説明を見つけたので多分このことを指しているのだろうと推測します。
ChatGPTは役に立ちそうだ。　 "Lolita" には他にも分からない個所がいっぱいあるので、又使って見よう。
