Thinkering 

Getting down on one knee, curling one's wrist to one's chin, and looking up, mimicking the pose of Auguste Rodin's classic sculpture "The Thinker".

(Created by Dave Silverman, reported by Staks Rosch, "Thinkering: The atheist answer to Tebowing", Dec. 30, 2011, examiner.com)
In response to the fundamentalist craze of Tebowing, American Atheists President Dave Silverman has come up with an atheist version called "Thinkering."
Someone commented that the pose looked too similar to Tebowing, to which Silverman responded: "That's the point. The difference is we don't bow our heads in blind submission, rather we consider and conclude for ourselves."

Thinkering 

A portmanteau of "thinking" and "tinkering". Means to think about something by tinkering with objects relating to the problem under consideration. Usually unguided, exploratory and individual, often a very good way to explore aspects of difficult problems or to find solutions where none are obvious. In other words, an active form of thinking.

Akin to solving a puzzle (like a rubiks cube) by trying to solve it rather than just sitting and staring at it.
Bob is thinkering again, wonder if he'll finally figure out how to get that perpetual motion machine back together again?

Blind Tindering 

Closing your eyes and swiping left and right while on Tinder and hoping for the best.
Person one: woah! I don't remember right swiping that person!

Person two: Damn, you must have been blind tindering again.
