Wibble? that would be the Old English word for bizarre nasal decoration or
the more modern form - a reinforcement for the word wobble as in
wibble-wobble (colloquial, 1847 - OED)? Or perhaps a more recent American
neologism for the way in which a lens renders edges of the in-focus
highlights in the background of an image when the lens is stopped right
down (e.g.lovely wibble on the background waves in this image).
