tekefines ˈtɛkəˌfaɪnz noun 1. The tingling, prickling sensation that arises in a hand, foot, or limb when blood flow is temporarily reduced or a nerve is compressed. 2. The uneasy but fleeting feeling as circulation returns, often described as “pins and needles.” Etymology: Coined in the 21st century to fill the lexical gap for a single word describing this common sensation. Usage examples: • “I sat on my leg too long and now I’ve got tekefines in my foot.” • “Don’t worry, the tekefines will pass once you stretch your hand out.” • “The doctor asked if I often felt tekefines in my arms when I slept.”
