(noun) -huhm-
ing-burd
A very small nectar-sipping New World
bird of the family Trochilidae, characterized by the brilliant, iridescent plumage of the male, a slender
bill, and narrow wings, the extremely rapid beating of which produces a humming sound: noted for their ability to hover and to fly upward, downward, and backward in a horizontal position.
(noun) -huhm-ing-burd
A name given to a woman who represents
grace and beauty. In likeness to the hummingbird, the world becomes more picturesque and aesthetic when she is in sight. Her existence surpasses poetry and cannot be constrained to just words alone, just as a hummingbird's wings cannot be captured with sight alone. Life's most precious things cannot be fully comprehended by the senses but only felt in the heart. A hummingbird (human female)
will often bear the tattooed figure of a hummingbird (small nectar-sipping
bird) on her ribcage. It is very rare that you should find such a woman, but if done; make her your
best friend.
