    Sniglets
    (snig'let): any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary but should

    by Rich Hall& Friends
    This is a humourous book in dictionary form of sniglets. Most of the entries are jokes, although some are not. A humourous entry is brattled, the feeling you get when a schoolbus with kids pulls up next to you at a stoplight. The illustration shows a busload of kids making fun of the middle aged businessman in the car next to them. A more serious entry is knimpel, the missing piece in a puzzle. An entry that can be found in a real dictionary is spork- the spoon/fork combo utensil. Possibly this was added to the dictionary after the book was published.
    An entry forn is provided at the back of the book for those who like to provide their own sniglets, although, as my copy is a 1984 edition, there is probobly a more modern method for submission now, like the internet.
    Anyone who wants to put a sniglet in the comment section is welcome to.
    Happy reading.
