Of course "nubbin" is a real word. It's in every dictionary I looked into. Online Merriam-Webster says that it is derived from "nub" and means:
Quote:
1 : something (as an ear of Indian corn) that is small for its kind, stunted, undeveloped, or imperfect
2 : a small usually projecting part or bit

It's the #2 definition that I normally mean when I use the word.
