Slang
Lithuanian term or phrase: nuorinti
What does this word mean? I can't find it in any dictionary, it seems the meaning is "tune"? Is it related to resti, rantas?

to bleed
Explanation:
If it's about radiators than the term "bleed" should be used.
E.g. radiators need to be bled (disposed of air) in order to restore heating.
I can't think of any Lithuanian slang where the word "nuorinti" is used..could you provide an example?

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's not slang then, I just saw it used in relation to cars a lot on google, so I assumed it's technical slang :-)

to bleed, to discharge air


Explanation:
Well, I gave my "version" as it is used in technical terminology. Maybe in slang it can have some different meaning, but I have never heard this word used as a slang word...
