Sniglets
These are a few sniglets, which are words not found in the dictionary that should be. They were made up, originally, by Rich Hall and his friends. If you've ever suffered through the excuse for SNL during the 80's, you proabably saw Tim Kazurinsky doing things like these during Weekend Update. Only difference is that these words are shorter. Oh, and these are funny.

I saved the most relevant (if not funniest) one for last. Blog (blahg): Overly generous deposits of fish food floating on the surface of the aquarium. Do y'all believe that shit? The book was published 17 years ago. Maybe weblogs were around then, but I sure had never heard of 'em.
For some frickin' reason, I can't seem to get this one, particular commercial out of my head. One line keeps playing, over and over.
"Next, ve haff svimvair..." Remember that Russian fashion show? I don't even know what they were selling. I hope not the svimvair. One commercial I adore is for Visa, I think. It's got the best lookin' booger on the planet in it-Charlie Sheen. The one that ends with Martin sayin' he was Charlie when he came in.....So cool. Off to the next post....
