[Dixonary] 3077 BOMBINATE results

Hi all!

Here are your results for round 3077 for the word BOMBINATE, which is from
the same root word used to describe a bumblebee and means to buzz or hum,
and which netted me a D5, thanks to you savvy cats, whose voting showed a
clear preference for bumblebee-adjacent definitions.

Da Winnah is Tim Lodge, who received an aberrant 7 for wandering aimlessly.
