What does BOBBLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small round ball of wool or other material used as a decoration, or a clumsy fumble of a ball.
In British usage a bobble is the soft pom-pom stitched on the top of a woolly hat or hung along the edge of a cushion. In sport, especially baseball, the word describes a ball that is mishandled for a moment before the player gets control of it. The sense of something bouncing or wobbling slightly explains both uses.
