Definition of tweedle-dee in English English dictionary

A fictional little fat man who is the twin brother of Tweedle-dum and appears in multiple artistic works, including certain nursery rhymes and Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass

One of a pair (the other of the pair being Tweedle-dum) of nominally different (often: but practically identical) things

Suppose we have any axiom of the form: (2) For every Tweedledee there is a Tweedledum R-related to it. Axioms of the form (2) cut two ways. They can be construed as putting a limit on the Tweedledees: only those exist for which there is an R-related Tweedledum. On the other hand, they can be seen as postulating the existence of a rich collection of Tweedledums. There are so many of them that there is at least one R-related to every single Tweedledee.

Etymology

() The names "Tweedledum" and "Tweedledee" first appeared in print in one of John Byrom's epigrams, which satirised the disagreements between Handel and Bononcini. They were made popular by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
