Usage
"In her (Janice Daugharty's) hands, dogs don't just run and bark at moving wagons. Instead, 'rawboned and hollow, the ... heart-faced curs came on, yipping at the spinning wagon wheels and wambling between the legs of the horses." — Hal Jacobs; Reading the South: New fiction; The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Georgia); May 27, 2004 "But then add the black warrior: the focus settles on the black guy, the theme blurs, the angle grows acute, the last reel resolution wambles." — Thomas Cripps; Frederick Douglass: The Absent Presence in Glory; The Massachusetts Review (Amherst); Spring 1995.
