OK,

I've been asked a couple times to post my collection of "sniglets." A sniglet is a word that is not in the dictionary but should be. A morphed or made up word.

Here are a few examples from prior posts. I'll post more of the ones I had listed from before DWD as I get time. Please feel free to add to my list! This is a fun (weird, nerdy?) hobby of mine.....

Please feel free, as on a wiki thread, to edit the definitions on this thread. These words may have more than one meaning.

Robin....

Need a def. and example of NC .....as only you can provide! I think dry humping is also your's (or Annalisa's.) What about the lowercase capitalized nicknames we give our ex's. Is there a word for that? If not there should be....perhaps a dickname?

Actually dry humping is in the urban dictionary, so that one's real!

I love calling the lower cased nicknames a dickname - that is great, and better than anything else I could come up with....

How about this one....

Nocontactphobia (n.)... The temporary state of panic when full reality of No Contact (determination not to contact ex to focus on self) sinks in; Nocontactphobia is prone to hit at night, weekends, or near special occasions, and is accompanied by a rapid heart beat and crazy lure of a keypad and ex's email /text address..... Only known cure is G.I.T. assistance.

"On day 7 of NC, I had an extreme case of nocontactphobia, that had me reaching for Ben & Jerry's, cabernet, and the phone.... I had the first two, but G.I.T. pulled me away from the phone."

Well in that case!

Dry Humping (v.) Dry humping is the process of two people repeatedly moving up and down and back and forth on top of each other fully clothed (or missing various items of clothing, but the peni$ must not come in contact with the v**g**a without some sort of fabric or other material in between them.....)

"They dry humped in the produce section of the grocery store as too many fruits reminded them of s3xual organs."

Definition partially from Urban Dictionary... Example of sentence just plain silliness....

FWB-Friends with benefits=a relationship that is not a real relationship. No real dates, phone calls, commitments, just casual friends with casual sex.

NC-No Contact=What you do when you just got dumped or things are not feeling right. Its a time when you are completely silent and absent from his life. A time to reflect and gain clarity and find the Goddess within again.

There is a bwp but I forgot that one, can someone enlighten us?

"Space: The Final Frontier" - a form of NC where the woman gives the man "space" and if it doesn't work it's going to be the "final frontier" of the relationship.

"So.... you tell me you don't know what you want and you need space to figure it out. Well, mister, I'll give you better than that. I'll give you Space (long pause): The Final Frontier! (ta dum!)"

Here are some Facebook sniglets:
1. Facekeepers: FB friends whom you “friend” because they were acquaintances in a larger group where you had real friends, not realizing that those real friends already are or shortly will be on Facebook themselves, eliminating the motivation for “friending” the Facekeeper in the first place.

2. Bonus Buddy (BB): Someone with whom you connect way better on Facebook (perhaps due to increased maturity, or the removal of old constraints,) than you ever did in real life.

3. Facebalk: Responding cheerfully to a direct FB Message from an old friend while quietly neglecting to “friend” them in the process.

4. Defacing: “Unfriending” a FB friend.

5. Caspering: Refusing to put up a picture on Facebook, so that everyone sees only a white silhouette.
.
6.Statusloading: Intentionally inserting status-related ephemera to one’s Status Updates as a way of cyberboasting:
Fred is enjoying the ocean view from his living room.
Mike is working hard on his next book.
Shari just returned from sampling some wonderful Cabs at Chez Pierre.

7. Leftrighting: (religious) Clear violations of the Christian teaching that one’s good works should be done anonymously for God and not broadcast to engender the praise of other people:
Doug is back after a wonderful hour of private prayer time and devotion!
Karen is praying for her women’s group members.

8. Faceshock I: The horrifying realization that your recently rediscovered friends have all aged decades while you’ve remained basically the same.

9. Faceshock II: The far more horrifying realization that some of your recently rediscovered friends don’t seem to have aged a bit, while you’ve aged decades.

10: It’s Complic-Haze — The intentional lack of clarity one leaves around potentially embarrassing or controversial aspects of one’s life.

11: Mar-anoia: The belated, sudden, awkward posting of one’s married status (e.g. “Jim is now married to Susan.”) to offset any misconceptions about one’s motives for messaging or requesting a “friend” status with a member of the opposite sex.

12: Dogfacing (verb): Refusing to let people see what you look like now behind the guise of showing endless cute pics of your dog.

13: Kidfacing: Same thing.

14: Faceborn Friends: People whom you never would have met in real life, but with whom you correspond daily or almost daily on Facebook.

15. FaceGrace: An unexpected second chance, found through Facebook, to reclaim a lost relationship or apologize for long-ago misdeed.

16. Faceglaze: the distortion between the life we intentionally project in our Facebook postings/photos and the one we really live.

“How’s ol’ Dave doing?”

“Sounds like all he does is ski, work out, and see ‘fabulous’ concerts, but there may be some Faceglazing going on.”

17. Friendorexia: The compulsion to add ever more and more names to your Friends list; an unhealthy obsession with the number of FB “friends” one has.

18. Bookbuzz: That warm feeling you get when someone you didn’t think knew or liked you asks you to become their FB friend.

19. Facefallen: The disappointment experienced upon realizing that the person whose unexpected Friend Request gave you Bookbuzz has 1,784 other “Friends.”

20. Anyone???

From slangdictionary.com while looking for a def of manspeak....

Manser n. A man's answer. A stupid answer given by a man to a simple question.

Manstress n. the male equivalent of mistress; an object of one's affections who lies outside of one's primary relationship.

Manspeak - n. a universal language spoken by all males of the human species. It is essentially a foreign language for women and is one of the hardest languages for women to learn. Soon after birth men speak fluent manspeak even though most boys are taught their language skills by their mothers and female teachers...

Audrey,

That sounds like (FOG)^2. "FOG squared" or even cubed. Way more than just a screaming, yelling irrational rant and hissyfit of the typical FOG. Or as Linnie likes to say...

A true TeraFOG!!! Tera is much much more than mega in geekspeak.

Now that I think of it this is a blending of terrible + FOG which is a key element for a true sniglet.

TeraFOG it is then.

SZ

PS. By the way, thanks for your participation! I have also found that people slip out sniglets on the other threads. Thanks for the bookkeeping!

Hee hee! I used petrophobe the other night. Both my bf and I are a little petrophobic. Candlelight is fine, but incandescent or sunlight....Awwwkkkk. He becomes an emotional "vampire" (not the same def as above)! (Me too!) : - ))))

To "trow" someone off the list v. To write off a man as not a possibility because he has not contacted you after a really great date. There is a huge controversy surrounding the timeframe prior to the trow. For some, three days, for some next day, for others weeks and months. ITM's rule is "a phone call after a great night (and morning) of (firsttime) s3x." Texts in this instance are trowable offenses.

"OK, now just how long should I wait to trow him off the list. It's been four days without a call now!"

Feak and weeble- adj. 1.lacking in bodily strength or healthy vigor, as from age or sickness; feeble; infirm to the point that your partner must do most to the work during s3x. Because you have been ill with the flu, or pulled out your back, or are hung over from the night before you have a good excuse to just lay back and enjoy the ride (so to speak!)

"I'm very feak and weeble so Si will have to do most of the work tonight, then. Awwww...whadda shame...."

Feak and weeble s3x - n. 1. a type of s3x that happens when one or the other partner is just not as able to physically participate as actively as he/she wants to. It is org@sm using minimum energy requirements.

Feak and weeble s3x is not a selfish thing. It does not involve a lack of WANT. The WANT is there. The ol' body is just not up to the rigors as is usual... If both partners are feak and weeble it is called abstinance.

"Not feeling good? Maybe some feak and weeble s3x is just what the doctor ordered!"

Compliments of Soulmate

This sniglet will def get some use - as you get older "feak and weeble s3x" is more likely to occur (with either partner)...after surgery, chemotherapy treatments, even sunburn, PMS, three nights of insomnia. Hee hee! I LOVE this one, SM!
