jiggling
Quivering back and forth
Jiggling is the present participle of jiggle—to shake or move with quick, small movements.
Something jiggles when it wobbles or vibrates: jiggling keys to find the right one, jiggling the handle to get the door open.
The word often describes flesh moving under its own momentum: Her belly was jiggling as she laughed.
