Sniglets

Posted November 3rd, 2006 by forum

Thanks to Rich Hall who invented the term, a sniglet is defined as a "word that should be in the dictionary, but isn't". There are different types of sniglets, from onomatapoetic to weirdly etymologically correct (but home made) but they all describe things or concepts that have no "official" words.

I LOVE snigglets

My favorite was aquadextrous - being able to adjust the hot and cold water taps in the bathtub with your feet. I also have two original sniglets.

Whever - A contraction of whenever and whereever. When you are talking to a friend you don't see often, you can say see you whever.

Illiberate - Liberated (as many of the younger generation seem to be) from the annoying need of having to use proper English, complete sentences, etc. As in: Nah, don't talk dat way, mon, I'm illiberate.
