Feather

Derived from goose-feather or cuckoo feather (cuckoo bird), a feather, or a feath, is a crazy-person. He or she is usually out of their mind and in their own world, but not all the time. They tend to "feath" out or "flap" around wildly. When agitated, which occurs often, feathers can become ruffled. This is also detected through the possessed, wild-eyed look of the feather. A flapping sound can be used to reference the actions of said feather or the presence of a feather.

"That girl at the party was a total feather."

"Did you see that guy on the bus feathing out?"

"Dinner was great, until I got "feathed". I am not sitting next to Bob's sister again."

"Feath came over last night, and was flapping every which way and left feathers all over the ground!"

feather

To lightly press down on a car's gas pedal so to rev up the engine slighty....from 850 rpm to maybe 1200 rpm. Not a full 12 grand red zone engine blast

Okay, Frank, the car keeps on cutting out on me, so feather the gas so that I see what is going on.

Feathering

Moving a controller like a game pad or joystick in slight intermittent nudges. Used to avoid moving too far in a game with overly responsive character or vehicle movement. The opposite approach to blindly charging in, thrusters on full. Might be needed to get a character right to the edge of a ledge in a platform game before making a particularly difficult jump.

Dude, you've got to use some feathering to get that ship in to the landing pad or you're going to crash.
