Meaning of said, wiggly Sun Sep 23, 2007 19:20 pm  Meaning of said, wiggly
 

Hi everyone
I'd like to ask a few questions about the following passage:

She still remembered the sheer panic when she was a teenager over a patch of skin turning green, only to discover that it was simply a gold allergy, a reaction to a piece of jewelry given her by her boyfriend. Said boyfriend broke up with her a week later, her panic attack having gotten him all wiggly.

Does 'said' mean 'mentioned'?
What's the meaning of 'wiggly'?

Yes, "said" in this context means "previously mentioned boyfriend" or "that same boyfriend." Wiggly means upset, nervous, or "squirmy".
