Wikipedia
nubbin
A supernumerary nipple is an additional instance of nipple occurring in mammals, including humans. They are often mistaken for moles. Studies variously report the prevalence of supernumerary nipples as approximately 1 in 18 and 1 in 40.The nipples appear along the two vertical "milk lines", which start in the armpit on each side, run down through the typical nipples and end at the groin. They are classified into eight levels of completeness from a simple patch of hair to a milk-bearing breast in miniature.

nubbin
A nubbin is a small lump or residual piece, particularly a stunted piece or part. It is usually used to refer to something that is small or underdeveloped. For example, in agriculture, it can refer to a small, immature, or underdeveloped piece of crop. It is also commonly used to refer to a small piece or part sticking out from something. The term derives from the word 'nub', which means the core or essence of something.
