I always thought that there was also a word PUMBLE that meant the same thing as PUMMEL. Obviously I was wrong. It was always used when we were playing sport and we would say that, "we pumbled the opposition." Urban Dictionary has not let me down, it does exist. live in the moment Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Pumble Bazr #217084 06/14/2014 11:15 AM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 They have chimbley, too.
