EN: to turn, to shift direction
When you're in a meeting and your boss starts talking about weekend work, and you suddenly 'bumaling' your attention to that very interesting crack on the ceiling. It's also what you do when you see your ex with a new partner at the mall – you turn your whole body, not just your head.
Often used to describe a change in physical direction, gaze, or attention.
