An inexperienced rock climber out for the weekend, most probably a product of a local climbing club (VCC) weekend course. They classically turn up late and walk to the crag sporting near unused climbing equipment habitually including a double set of 'bumbly bell' (hexes) and make a gawd awful racket too early in the morning. They then proceed to epic on the easiest climbs, leaving half their expensive gear behind for the resident climbing bums to then solo, steal and sell over the camp fire. /Repeat
Hey, check out those bumbly VCC idiots, should we rescue them? Nah, let's climb behind them and steal their gear...
"Way out in bumble" - The boonies, A place that is generally out-of-the-way. An abbreviation for "Bumble-fuck".
-"Did you go to the swap meet?" -"Nah, I wouldn't be caught dead out in bumble." -"I wanted to go corning, but the only field around here was off in bumble"
Collective noun for a group of klutzes, which is also descriptive. The large number of collective nouns in English is based on a tradition of "terms of venery" or "nouns of assembly" that are specific to certain kinds of animals, and stems from an English hunting tradition of the Late Middle Ages.
"Don't speak to me before coffee! I'm just a bumble of klutzes!" (Words spoken by the character Velocity Elfaerie in her conversations with Daniel Damask, from "The Book of Names" written by Severine Demure.) The former character is describing her every morning dilemma and proceeds to cite a long list of the names of all her personnae, several of whom are 'klutzes.' "That is to say I am not a morning person. I mean, I'm not really sure who I am yet today, and, it is sure, whoever is in charge cannot possibly have the culture under control." A fascinating account which adds a neologism to the lexicon of collective nouns, a 'bumble' of klutzes.
