Sniglets

[Xerus]

Does anyone remember Sniglets? They were featured on the 80's show, Not Necessarily the News and were created by comedian, Rich Hall. Sniglets are any words that don't appear in the dictionary but should. And a lot of funny and creative new words were made and put into five Sniglet books. Here are some of my favorites.

AQUADEXTROUS: The ability to turn off the bathroom faucets with your toes.

BEAVO: A pencil with teeth marks on it.

CARTERNITY: The law that says cartoon characters will stay the same age forever.

CHEEDLE: That orange powder on your fingers after eating Cheetos.

CHERK: The person who takes up the line just to write a check for 3 items or less.

FOODGITIVES: The vegetables that slip into the meat section in a TV dinner.

FRANKFLUID: That disgusting liquid found in hot dog packs.

GAZINTA: The symbol used for division, and a way of saying, "Four GAZINTA eight twice."

HOZONE: The place where missing socks go when in the washing machine.

JUJUSPECTION: Holding a jujube up to the cinema screen to determine its color.

KEDOPHOBIA: The fear of your sneakers getting eaten by the keys of an escalator.

MAYTAG MASSAGE: That wonderful vibrating feeling when sitting on top of a running washing machine.

NOODLIUM: The tiny plastic window that allows you to see the inside of a box of pasta.

PIGSLICE: That last piece of pizza everyone wants.

REGISTER ROACH: The first customer to enter a check out line that just opened.

RICEROACH: The burnt Krispy found in every box of Rice Krispies.

SCANNICPANIC: The act of searching the house for the missing remote control instead of just turning on the TV.

SPUDPUDDLE: The ketchup puddle you make to dip french fries in.

VERTEBRATRAMATRACIDE: The fear of stepping on a crack and causing spinal damage to your mother.

XIIDIGITATION: Trying to figure out what year a movie was made by reading the Roman numerals.

Yes, I remember Sniglets. I haven't thought of those in years. They were very funny. My older brother had two "Sniglet Dictionaries." I also remember playing a Sniglet board game once at a friend's house.
