    An unorganized pile or collection of unrelated items.

    “The top drawer of the desk was a shlarmle of buttons, marbles, pens, and rubber bands.”

    It’s those roughly squared off, dirty, slushy heaps of packed snow that were plowed out of the way after the snowfall and are the only thing left after the rest of the snow has melted.

    The shared sense of alarm, just before a stamped, in herding animals.

    e.g.

    The air was electric, the shlarmled herd on edge, it felt like a fly landing on an ear would start the stamped.
