Pum

Pum
You may ask yourself, what is Pum? What significance or purpose does this odd phrase possess? The short answer, is,  nothing  a great deal.

Origins
This phrase originated from a short thought experiment. Some members of Hip + Max were discussing names that started with the letter P during Mr. Clark's 4th period Accel. Biology class. After failing to come up with more than simply "Paul", Zini had a spark of brilliance by recalling the common household name, "Pum". The name became an instant staple in the Hip + Max saga.

Critical Reception
Confusing to some outside of Hip + Max, Pum did not take off initially as a hit among onlookers. It remained, however, a thread of continuity to the present among the remaining members of Hip + Max.

Cover Versions
Despite Zini's denial, it is a well-known fact that his pet fish's name is Pum. He bought a fish at college and named it Pum. Don't listen to him. It's name is Pum.
