Please help me with slang...

0Hi my EnglishForward friends,02br
02br
00US english slang will probably beat the hell out of me...:-). But it's interesting to discover this part of the US english, no kidding. Back to the point, please what does it mean if say to someone that 01i00"you were tweaking your ass off" ....02i00I didn't find it at the urbandictionary.com, so it must be very hard slang. I came across to this in this context: FBI agent is questioning someone, who bough an stolen car from some girl: 02br
02br
00I'll bet you were 01i01b00tweaking your ass off02br
02b02i00and you thought, "Wait, why pay this chick02br
00when I can kill her, take the car and keep the cash?"02br
02br
00Please how would you paraphrase the first part (01i00I'll bet you were 01b00tweaking your ass off) 02b02i00...rest is no problem for me....02br
02br
00 thank you in advance...02br
02br
00 regards0-

0My guess is, "I'll bet you were using drugs big time!" I'm not sure if "tweaking" refers to a particular sort of drug use, or if it's drugs in general.0-

0My underground source says "crystal meth" (methamphetamines made in illegal meth labs) You can go without sleep indefinitely. Also, as Marius says, exhibiting the signs/symptoms of such use. (I know that's not a sentence.)0-
