Dictionary Entry: Nubbin

Basically, since the day I met Sarah, she has been fascinated, frustrated, intrigued and annoyed by my use of the word nubbin. I can see that, since the true definition of nubbin is a moving target. In this post I hope to all at once define the word and still keep the definition a mystery,if you will!

For clarity:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nubbin

nubbin (plural nubbins)

1. A stub, especially a stub of undeveloped corn or fruit.
2. (informal) A small protuberance, bud, bump, knob, or the like.

I’d like to also add that anything, small… cute… or otherwise un-described can be considered a nubbin as long as the Nubbinator. wow… I just pulled nubinator out for the first time! I like it endorses the use of the word. I’d also like to point out that not only did I pull out Nubinator, I crowned myself the Supreme Nubinator!.

So there you have it… You know what a nubbin is, isn’t and how it can vary depending on any number of factors.
