It's when you "talk" to another "twinkle-talker" by combining your eyelid movements and Morse code to send a message from a person to another while no soul can notice or use this communication method against them. This code-based messaging technique uses Morse Code, a series of short and long signals called "dots" and "dashes". So a quick wink is a morse code "dot", and a "dash" is done by a winking slowly and longer. All you have to do is learn morse code. And with this method you can actually "shine" for real, a form of concrete telepathy. The distance? Who knows? Got binoculars?
I was twinkle-talking my lawyer and nobody knew what we were talking about. The prisoner twinkle talked to his friend in jail and got his message across flawless.
