Pooh Bear often wambled

I’m writing this just before dinner, and my tummy is wambling.

No, I don’t need to see a doctor because wamble is both a verb and a noun that means rumble. (You can have a wamble, and your stomach can wamble.) It can also mean to move unsteadily, which doesn’t seem to have any connection to a hungry stomach, but that’s English for you.

This word that we never use originated in the 1500s. I bet there was a lot of wambling back then.

The next time your stomach lets you know it wants food, tell it to stop wambling. It’s a fun word.
