The Meaning of 'Gimbal'

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the meaning of the word 'gimbal'. They speculate about its definition, suggesting it could mean something small or a nibble. They also consider the possibility of it being a small pipe for water. Towards the end, they discover that gimbal actually refers to a finger ring consisting of a pair of series of interlocking rings, or joined work as in a clock whose parts move within each other. They jokingly comment on how they were close with their guesses but ultimately misunderstood the true meaning of the word.
