habblegosh
Trying to act like an animal while that animal is actually there, like you’re trying to be brave and you’re just being silly.
I did the habblegosh like a rabbit in front of a rabbit. It hopped away like I was a joke.
I tried to habblegosh like a snake in front of a snake. It hissed at me like I was a bother.
At the pet store, I did the habblegosh like a hamster while a hamster was watching me.
