Shiggle is a Welsh English dialect word meaning to shake or jiggle something — a vigorous little wobble or trembling movement. It's the kind of physical verb that sounds exactly like what it means, with the short sharp syllables mimicking the quick back-and-forth motion it describes. Used in Wales and Welsh-influenced English dialects, shiggle adds colour to descriptions of movement, particularly when something or someone is being wiggled, rattled, or quivered into action.
