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.
She had to shiggle the key in the lock for a good thirty seconds before it finally turned.
