Someone with nothing better to do than to spy on their neighbours for signs of petty wrongdoing. A derogatory term for members of the neighbourhood watch and other such organisations.
The term refers to the only sign of their presence - curtains twitching in suburban dwellings as they peek out at whatever might be going on outside.
Has absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality, except where homosexuality is illegal and thus something else for the curtain-twitchers to report to the authorities.
"Letting the deranged curtain twitcher at Snout’s Cottage gather “intelligence” about her neighbours reminds me of East Germany before the Wall came down."
I came home from work the other day got out of the car & felt a vibe I was being watched,Look up & there he/she was with the curtains pulled to one side looking out,
Every time I start my lawnmower to cut the grass there he/she is gawking out,Bloody curtain twitchers f off you nosey b**tards
A person who has nothing better to do other than spy on their fellow Social Media friends for signs of gossip.
Their duties include:
1. Scour other people's social media profiles for news they can use for their own joviality.
2. Using partners/friends account so they can't be traced or twitched at themselves.
3. Check out how sexy members of the opposite sex are without the person knowing.
I'm sure so and so is an electronic curtain twitcher as they seem to know so much about me and we're not even friends.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
