Backstory

A friend of mine, who we'll call Bailey Stool (not their real name), used the word "bimble" in a social media post. Despite having existed for the last 38 years, I haven't heard it before. I had to look up the definition and now plan to use it casually in conversation at some point as if I've known it all along. It's a word that I must now remember and deploy at precisely the right moment. Just in case anyone else feels the same way, I've provided this helpful guide to its use.
