👉 "Red knobbed" is a delightfully absurd term that describes someone who's so excited, so flustered, and perhaps a little bit red-faced that they're literally twisting their little control knobs on their face. It's like when you're about to blow up a balloon but just can't quite get it to pop - you're just about there, but not quite ready.
Here's an unsettling example sentence: "After the prank on the janitor, John red knobbed the doorbell for hours, convinced it was a secret message from the ghost of his deceased grandpa."
