`Twist' is one of the most overworked words in our current lexicon. This will be a survey of distinct but related meanings all of which portend to be related to current `mathematical physics': twisting cochains, twisted de Rham cohomology, twisted K-theory, twisted Spin, String, etc bundles,`twisted bundles'meaning gerbe modules. Applications to String-like extensions of Lie algebras such as the Fivebrane algebra will be a focus.
