It isn’t just for third nipples anymore. The term nubbin can be used to describe a variety of small objects or
people like your friend “No Limb Jim”, or your iPhone charger’s
wall connector, or a little bit of
rice left in your beard from last night’s shame-filled sushi, sake, and karaoke night. Heck, the polite little man who
DJ’ed karaoke could even be described as a nubbin. Used as a term of endearment or descriptive pronoun, Nubbin is your new backup anytime the real word slips your mind.
