    1. Tweaking (Emma only) 😂

    Lemma guess, Emma uses ‘Tweaking’ every other sentence?

      Tweaking once was chemsex when it wasn’t experimenting with the fine-tuning of your amateur radio array.

      Now its erratic behavior like someone on stimulants trying to fine tune their radio array to pick up alien chatter.

        Tweaking has been plain meth use for a loooooooooong time, not sure what the kids mean by it now

          same thing, just used in a wider variety of contexts

          Acting in a manner reminiscent of being on meth. Spastic (from which we get spaz )

          Now I think about it, young people are often high energy because (as I put it) the motor is too big for the chassis hence the need to run around on the jungle gym. So having new recurring slang for someone who is too energetic to be fully in control (i.e. well-behaved) makes sense.
