Thread: tweak or twink

    tweak or twink

    I'm just curious who the original person that had the typo for the word tweak and mistyped it as twink. I know there's really no way to ever know this I just find it really funny how people continue to use the typo'd version of the word tweak over and over and over.......

    Twink sounds retarded STOP THE INSANITY

    twink does mean something, im not toally sure tho. i think its someone who spend lots and lots and lots of time on something for their own benefit. which would be a lowbie char with decent items etc etc. but when someone re-kits their high lvl char it would be tweaking not twinking.

    i guess its more tweaking to become a twink

    No actually what you described is to TWEAK. Twink is not a word and has no meaning.

    re

    Astro you are indeed right, at least in my opinion,

    tweak=twink and also own = pwn. I don't think it makes someone an idiot by default for saying these things as the association has been assigned and accepted by them.

    Even though it is incorrect I accept it as a type of slang.

    Twink is short for twinkey a yellow sponge cake with cream filling.


    In most cases it refers to a higher players alt, because they start out with all the good gear (the cream filling). First time I started hearing it was in merridan59 and then UO/EQ kicked it into high gear.

    It is ment usualy as derrogity(sp) by the lower people because the char did not have to work to get it. Thats another discussion completely though.

    Think again ^ ^

    Go to Yahoo and type Twink.

    You might laugh at the people who call their charecters "My little soldier twink".

    Start agreeing with them.

    From dictionary.com:

    twink

    1. A clue-repellant user; the next step beyond a clueless one.
    2. may derive from gay slang for a cute young thing with nothing upstairs (compare mainstream `chick').

    I would have to say that this is an typicall example of how an flame should not look like. You need to think things through and calm down before you try to write an flame... Im sorry but I would rate this flame with an 1. Aggression is to high, grammar and cursing isnt to well planned... Maybe he has an point somewhere in there but I dont even want to find it. - Centurion3

    well...tweak is a verb. twink is a verb or a noun.

    you can tweak and tweak until you become a twink.
    or you can just twink out.

    i think we should make a new word to describe these players...something with a lot of letters...

    like uberdoodenhousenstien or something like that.
