Tweek Tweak

Tweek Tweak, is a character on South Park who is voiced by Matt Stone, and was introduced near the end of season 2. He is a noticeably jittery boy.

Name Origin
The name "Tweek" comes from the term 'tweeker'. Tweekers are people who recreationally use crystal methamphetamines. Tweek's surname and first name are the same as each other. Most of the adults in town refer to him simply as "The Tweek-kid".

Appearance
Tweek has blond hair that looks as if he just rolled out of bed, wears a gray shirt buttoned wrong, and blue jeans. As revealed in Tweek vs. Craig, he weighs 48 pounds.

Jitters
Tweek's jitters are caused by caffeine, due to excessive coffee consumption, because his parents own a coffee shop and continually give him cups of coffee. According to Tweek's oblivious mother, he has ADD, which he tries to control with transcendental meditation. Coffee isn't the only thing he is addicted to. In Quest for Ratings, it is revealed that he fell in with a crowd of kids who were excessively consuming cough syrup. He hasn't been seen consuming it since, so he may have managed to overcome this addiction.

Friends
He was chosen as the fourth friend after Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Eric Cartman kicked Butters Stotch out of the group. Now he is often part of Craig's gang, despite having had a terrible feud with Craig several seasons back. This may be why he disappeared from the others after Child Abduction is not Funny. Craig's group may have appealed to him, then he accepted, and he dumped the main characters for Craig's gang.
