Definition

A "bubble team" is a sports team on the borderline of qualifying for a major tournament. In this context, "bubble" refers to the teams that are already in the tournament, and the teams close to making it but not yet guaranteed entry are the bubble teams. And the bubble teams' inclusion in the tournament largely depends on their performance in the final games of the regular season or conference tournaments.

bons

"Snob" spelled backwards for that extra layer of middle school cleverness your insults were missing. Because sometimes regular words aren't secretive enough for talking about the popular kids. Peak early-2000s coded language energy.

remove gerbil from horn

A conductor's colorful (if slightly unhinged) instruction to brass players to clear obstructions from their instruments causing muffled or squeaky sounds. It's the musical equivalent of telling someone to clear their throat, but with more rodent imagery. Wind instruments do collect moisture and valve grease, creating some truly unfortunate noises.
