Remember “sniglets?” A sniglet is a word that isn’t in any dictionary, but should be. The popularity of sniglets soared in the 80s when comedian Rich Hall began featuring sniglets on TV and in a book. Well, I finally came up with one of my very own!
CHOOD (rhymes with “chewed”):
noun - the partially-chewed food in a person’s mouth when displayed purposefully to another person, usually a sibling.
Usage: “Mom! Billy chood me!”verb - the act of intentionally displaying partially-chewed food to another person.
Usage:“Ewww…that’s some nasty chood!”
So…you have any sniglets to share?
The problem with sniglets is that if they become accepted, they find their way into the dictionary…and then they cease to be sniglets.
