shake (rapidly or spasmodically) v.i.: judder

Friday, April 9, 2021 by Peter Leave a Comment

The car was serviced at 12,000 miles in Caithness in March 1994 before I moved to Lincolnshire. Then, noticing severe wheel judder, I took the car to a Skegness dealer, who greased the suspension and told me to bring the car back if it got worse. (Answers by Honest John, Letter to Motoring: When Rust Remains Hidden, The Daily Telegraph, 09/12/1998.)

At age 30, Ben became a Jeopardy! Champion.  He also became an internet meme when the clips of his extreme frustration with the buzzer—he pressed the button so rapidly and so often that the little joystick juddered in his hand—landed on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. (Adrienne Raphel, Thinking Inside the Box, Penguin Press [2020], p.140.)
