The Sniglets books were made in 1984 and 1985 by Rich Hall, a writer/actor for HBO's "Not Necessarily the News", "Fridays", and "The David Letterman Show".

Plagiarizing the 80's fad of a 'sniglet' which was a term originated by writer/comedian Rich Hall as defining "any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should" and calling it "The Urban Dictionary".
