tweak

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} or {bum} a program; preferred usage in the UK.
