TILTED Meaning and Definition

  1. Tilted is an adjective that describes something as being inclined or slanted at an angle. It is often used to indicate that an object or surface is not level or perpendicular to the ground. When an item is tilted, one end or side is higher or lower than the other.

    In the context of physical objects, a tilted position can be intentionally or unintentionally caused. People may deliberately tilt a picture frame or a mirror to create a desired aesthetic effect. On the other hand, objects may become tilted due to an external force or an inherent instability.

    Tilted is also used metaphorically to describe a subjective perception or biased viewpoint. In this sense, it refers to a mental or emotional inclination towards one side or opinion over another. It implies a lack of objectivity or a predisposition that influences one's judgment or perspective.

    Additionally, the term tilted has been adopted in sports and gaming contexts, specifically for video games involving strategy or balance. In these cases, tilted is used to describe a player's emotional state when they become frustrated, angry, or demoralized due to repeated failures or unfavorable outcomes. Being tilted in gaming often leads to impaired decision-making and performance.

    Overall, tilted describes physical or metaphorical situations where something or someone is slanted, inclined, or biased relative to a reference point, whether it be an object, viewpoint, or emotional state.

  2. Levelled, as in a tilting match; raised up on end or edge.
