Bumble might be like honey only runnier, or maybe you heat the bumblecomb 
first.  It was hard to decide whether bumble should be a liquid, a gel, or 
a fiber.  I eventually decided against fiber because it would suggest a 
misleading interpretation for ``bumblecomb''.

Maybe it's something city slickers do to get around ``No dogs -- no cats'' 
clauses in their leases?

Google turns up ``flash-mobby'', meaning ``like a flash mob''.
