Noun. A slope or inclination. Why would this be uncountable? Two different houses can be on two different tilts, right? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Uncountable in "how much tilt", "any tilt", etc. 2A00:23C5:FE0C:2100:A9F6:67BA:AD42:2077 19:16, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

(tilted) In a general slangy way, malfunctioning (of a machine, probably derived from pinball), or to be unusual, avant-garde, or contrary (of a person). In "Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of The Smothers Brothers" by David Bianculli, Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane is quoted as saying that despite the clean-cut average American look of the Smothers Brothers on their show, they were both "tilted." She meant that in a good way, I think, being "tilted" herself. Wastrel Way (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC) EricReply
