Nubbins? You have to remember I made that video about 13 years ago and that
particular word probably described to a tee something that I couldn't think
of the right word for, during the marathon 30-hour session of making that

As I sit here tonight I haven't a clue what I was referring to. Perhaps the
context would help. Care to add a bit more detail?
