frobnicate / frob' ni- kayt/ ( Possibly from { frobnitz}, and usually
abbreviated to { frob}, but " frobnicate" is recognised as the
official full form). To manipulate or adjust, to { tweak}.
One frequently frobs bits or other 2- state devices. Thus:
" Please frob the light switch" ( that is, flip it), but also
" Stop frobbing that clasp; you' ll break it". One also sees
the construction " to frob a frob".
Usage: frob, { twiddle}, and { tweak} sometimes connote points
along a continuum. " Frob" connotes aimless manipulation;
" twiddle" connotes gross manipulation, often a coarse search
for a proper setting; " tweak" connotes fine- tuning. If
someone is turning a knob on an oscilloscope, then if he' s
carefully adjusting it, he is probably tweaking it; if he is
just turning it but looking at the screen, he is probably
twiddling it; but if he' s just doing it because turning a knob
is fun, he' s frobbing it. The variant " frobnosticate" has
also been reported.
