bumble blast

In times of desperate need. The act of sending a mass text to anyone you’ve dated using the Bumble dating app (or any other dating app, just change Bumble to the app used). It is a desperate attempt to hook up or initiate a relationship in the midst of a crisis.

Mary: i’ve been sheltering in place for three weeks. I can’t take this dry phase anymore.

Jane: honey, i was going thru the same thing last week. so, i sent a Bumble Blast. now i’m hooking up with Chad, Rico, and Suave!
