(wn) | twiddle

in the autumn wind" [syn: twirl, swirl, twiddle,
whirl]

(foldoc) | twiddle
1. The tilde character.
2. (To make) a small or insignificant change.
E.g. twiddling a program often fixes one bug and generates
several new ones (see also shotgun debugging). Bits are
often twiddled. Twiddling a switch or knob implies much less
sense of purpose than toggling or tweaking it; see
frobnicate. Bit twiddling connotes aimlessness, and at
best doesn't specify what you're doing to the bit; to
"toggle a bit" has a more specific meaning.

3. vt. To change something in a small way. Bits, for example, are often
twiddled. Twiddling a switch or knobs implies much less sense of purpose
than toggling or tweaking it; see frobnicate. To speak of twiddling a bit
connotes aimlessness, and at best doesn't specify what you're doing to the
bit; ‘toggling a bit’ has a more specific meaning (see bit twiddling, {
toggle}). 4. Uncommon name for the twirling baton prompt.
