jitter
Nervous micro-movement
Jitter is a nervous, trembling unsteadiness.
The jitters are feelings of anxiety or nervousness: I always get the jitters before a presentation.
Coffee jitters come from too much caffeine.
In electronics and telecommunications, jitter is unwanted variation in a signal's timing—small deviations that degrade audio, video, or data quality.
To jitter is to shake or fidget nervously.
