To
tweak; the act of criddling
1. To act as a criddler would; meaning to barely count as a human being while existing in your own thoughts/
world/frame of
reality.
2. To rummage aimlessly through
junk (usually a first time aquaintence, or complete stranger) and pull out items (mostly
useless) that catch your eyes because you can use them/they're what you've been looking for all along/you think it's cool/it's just what you need to finally finish a long undone project.
3. To sit in a
corner, empty/separate room, or even the other end of a couch from others, spread out your belongings (i.e. markers, electronic parts, notebooks,
bag contents to be reorganised) and perform a meaningless, solitary, time consuming project, task, or activity while attempting to pay attention to and carry on one or more conversations; all in an effort to remain social.
4. Usually any act done under the influence of methamphetamine; to the point of being so tweaked you can't sit still,
sleep, or remain focused for more than one or two hours that feel like twenty minutes.
5. To pilfer an item or items from someone while high; honestly believing they won't miss it/it's
junk/it's worthless/they won't notice it's gone for a few days.
6. To perform/The act of criddlery at the present time
7. To act on a criddlerific manner/fashion;
"I'm going to
Mark's to tweak and criddle his old shed."
"Damn it Mikey; who said you could criddle my
junk closet?!"
"Okay look I know it was you going through my shit, what did you criddle into your pockets?"
"I'm going to sit and criddle my bugout
bag; it's so unorganised!"
