vt. 1. To change slightly, usually in reference to a value. Also used
synonymously with twiddle. If a program is almost correct, rather than
figure out the precise problem you might just keep tweaking it until it
works. See frobnicate and fudge factor ; also see shotgun debugging. 2. To
tune a program; preferred usage in the U.K.
