tingling

A tingling sensation is when you feel pins and needles in your body, often in your hands or feet. It's like electricity running through your skin.

When we say something feels tingling, it usually means that our nerves are a bit numb or asleep. You know how sometimes you sit still for too long on a plane or cross-legged on the floor? Your legs might start to feel funny, and if you get up and move around, they'll go back to normal. That's what people mean when they say their feet were tingling after that long bus ride. Some people also use this word to describe how something exciting makes them feel all nervous and jittery inside – like a tingle of anticipation.
