 Hambycomb - Colloquialism/Adjective
 
 Hambycomb is a non-word which can convey various meanings dependant on the context in which it is used.
 
 Origin
 
 The word is believed to have first appeared as a word in the online multiplayer game 'Draw my thing' (www.iminlikewithyou.com) in April 2008
 
 This game is based on 'Pictionary', 1 person draws a description of a randomly generated word and other players have to guess within a time limit.
 
 It is believed to have been a programming error of incorrectly spelling 'handcomb' or 'honeycomb.
 
 Due to the popularity of this indescript and unknown word (Dictionary.com does not define it as a word) it has spawned into general use around the majority of the game players and even crossing into other online game cultures.
