tweeker

Stimulant drug abuser

A tweeker is a methamphetamine user, especially one showing visible signs of heavy use—jittery movements, picking at skin, staying awake for days.

The term comes from the tweaking behavior characteristic of stimulant abuse: compulsive, repetitive actions and paranoid agitation.

Some tweeker stole the catalytic converter off my truck.

Also spelled tweaker.
