When applied to objects: To
turn or
bend something. If it is machined to do so, like a bottle top or a corkscrew, work might get done. If it's not... one might encounter
contortion or
breakage.
When applied to ideas: This is where the fun starts! Idea A originated by person 1 can be twisted by person 2. Is it still idea A or is it now idea B? If it was engineered to be so treated, it might be a better version of idea A. If it is brittle (or if person 1 is brittle) it might be best for all concerned to call it idea B, have person 2 file a patent and send person 1 a nice mug of flowers at the IPO.
Other fun stuff to do with twist:
- and shout!
- sexualize an idea that had nothing to do with sex. See warp.
- twist your body on a sheet of plastic with multi-colored dots.
- lime in vodka with splash of tonic...
