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!"
