mareblobn.

Brit. /ˈmɛːblɒb/, U.S. /ˈmɛrˌblɑb/
Forms: 1600s mareblab, 1600s mareblabb, 1800s– mareblob (English regional (midlands)), 1800s– mereblob (English regional (midlands)), 1800s– mireblob (English regional (midlands)).
Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mere n.1, blob n.1
Etymology: Probably < mere n.1 (compare form mare s.v.) + blob n.1 (compare also blab n.2).Compare the synonymous May-blob n. at May n.2 Compounds 2, moll-blob n., molly-blob n., water-blob n. at water n. Compounds 9b. The second and third of these, and possibly also the first, may be alterations of compounds of Mary (compare marigold and also English regional mary-bout, mary-bud in Eng. Dial. Dict. Suppl.), of which mareblob itself might be either a variant or an antecedent form.
Now English regional (midlands).
