Horbgorble / Hobgoblin
I have seen only one definition on the internet for horbgorble: to putter around aimlessly.
I think it's a Scots word.
Is it related to hobgoblin?

Work like the ponies in coalmines.
Dance like the teardrop explodes.
Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.
Sing as though your little throat would burst.
