Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[c6]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[c6]d, D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[c6]t, Icel. t[c6][?], Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a- is a negative prefix. [fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till}, prep., {Time}.] 1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's tide.[b8] --Chaucer. And rest their weary limbs a tide. --Spenser. Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his bride. --Spenser. At the tide of Christ his birth. --Fuller. 2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of the latter being three times that of the former), acting unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth, thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon, their action is such as to produce a greater than the usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter, the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller tide than usual, called the {neap tide}. Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide, and the reflux, ebb tide. 3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide.[b8] --Shak. 4. Tendency or direction of causes, influences, or events; course; current. There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. --Shak. 5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon. 6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours. {Atmospheric tides}, tidal movements of the atmosphere similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon. {Inferior tide}. See under {Inferior}, a. {To work double tides}. See under {Work}, v. t. {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the tide}, under 2d {Lag}. {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any time. {Tide gate}. (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when the tide sets in one direction, but which closes automatically and prevents the water from flowing in the other direction. (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great velocity, as through a gate. {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide; especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C. {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}. {Tide mill}. (a) A mill operated by the tidal currents. (b) A mill for clearing lands from tide water. {Tide rip}, a body of water made rough by the conflict of opposing tides or currents. {Tide table}, a table giving the time of the rise and fall of the tide at any place. {Tide water}, water affected by the flow of the tide; hence, broadly, the seaboard. {Tide wave}, [or] {Tidal wave}, the swell of water as the tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of bays or channels derivative. --Whewell. {Tide wheel}, a water wheel so constructed as to be moved by the ebb or flow of the tide.

The following varieties and subvarieties are recognized: (a) {Cirrus}.

It is the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of the landsman. (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat below, one often piled above another, forming great clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow.

This form is characterized by its uniform gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus. (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus, of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is popularly called mackerel sky. (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus. (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus, often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint. -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven rapidly with the wind. 2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11. 3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble; hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's reputation; a cloud on a title. 4.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
twiddle n. 1. Tilde (ASCII 1111110, `~'). Also called `squiggle', `sqiggle' (sic -- pronounced /skig'l/), and `twaddle', but twiddle is the most common term. 2. A small and insignificant change to a program. Usually fixes one bug and generates several new ones (see also {shotgun debugging}). 3. vt. To change something in a small way. Bits, for example, are often twiddled. Twiddling a switch or {knobs} implies much less sense of purpose than toggling or tweaking it; see {frobnicate}. To speak of twiddling a bit connotes aimlessness, and at best doesn't specify what you're doing to the bit; `toggling a bit' has a more specific meaning (see {bit twiddling}, {toggle}). 4. Uncommon name for the {twirling baton} prompt.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
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.
