A Scottish dialectal word for a noisy commotion, uproar, or state of disorder — the kind of scene that draws a crowd and raises eyebrows. A hubble is what happens when tempers flare at a public meeting, when a party gets out of hand, or when a dispute spills into the street. Less commonly, it also appears in American usage to mean a lump or heap, or figuratively a pile of work, but the Scottish sense of rowdy chaos is the most distinctive.
There was a proper hubble outside the pub after the match — chairs everywhere and someone threatening to call the police.
