Tilt in gaming and poker means a frustration state that makes you play badly. "I was on tilt" = I was angry and making bad decisions. Not concerning unless your teen rage-quits often. Worth a conversation about emotional regulation in competitive settings. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in.
