Tweak

/twēk/

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 or bum a program; preferred usage in the U.K.
