joggles
Moves with wobbles
Joggles is the plural of joggle, a joint or projection that prevents two surfaces from slipping against each other—common in masonry and carpentry where stones or timbers interlock.
The verb joggle means to shake slightly or move with small jerky motions: The bus joggles passengers on rough roads.
To joggle something is also to fit it with such a joint.
