TWIDDLE n. 1. tilde (ASCII 176 [octal], "~"). Also called
"squiggle", "sqiggle" (sic--pronounced
"skig'gul"), and "twaddle", but twiddle is by far
the most common term. 2. A small and insignificant change to a
program. Usually fixes one bug and generates several new ones. 3. v.
To change something in a small way. Bits, for example, are often
twiddled. Twiddling a switch or knob implies much less sense of
purpose than toggling or tweaking it; see FROBNICATE.
