twiddle
     
        1.  The {tilde} character.
     
        2.  (To make) a small or insignificant change.
        E.g. twiddling a program often fixes one bug and generates
        several new ones (see also {shotgun debugging}).  Bits are
        often twiddled.  Twiddling a switch or knob implies much less
        sense of purpose than toggling or {tweak}ing it; see
        {frobnicate}.  {Bit twiddling} connotes aimlessness, and at
        best doesn't specify what you're doing to the bit; to
        "{toggle} a bit" has a more specific meaning.
