This is going to be a sort of series, on the words, phrases – just, well anything, I come across online, which I haven’t, before. Some you might know already; some you might not. They’re new to me though, so this is my way of documenting them, as I come across them. It will essentially consist of What I find, How they Look (if they indeed have a look), Where I came across them.  Call it a mini-dictionary, if you will.

By the way – it’s not all, “Oh my god, mind-blowing stuff.” More like a collection of tidbits. You’ve been warned.

What I Found: 

Weeble-Wobble:  A sort of wobbly kids’ toy that’s a little like our Thanjavur Thalaiyatti Bommai. Except that it wobbles as a whole.

It looks like:

Where I Found It:

“Sam can’t get up for the next three days without looking like a weeble-wobble.”

From the hugely talented K Hanna Korossy’s Supernatural Fanfic, Spiraling.
