A term created for a maneuver implemented in the mini-game "Odd One Out" in the smash hit Icelandic video game Fuzion Frenzy in which the player passes off the bomb to another player precisely before time runs out causing that player to explode and lose. This move causes much frustration and occasionally anger in the "pummelchooked" player, due to the last minute "screw-over" by the opposition. "Pumblechook" is directly derived from, but in no way related to, "Uncle PumbleChuck" from Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.
