Sniglet

A Sniglet is any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should.

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".

The illustrations of the two books were made by Arnie Ten, an award-winning cartoonist living in Brooklyn.

Since the Sniglets's first airing on "Not Necessarily the News", thousands of viewers contributed to the books with their own Sniglets.
A few Sniglets:

"Eufirstics (yew fur' stiks) - n. Two people waiting on the phone for the other to hang up first."

"Nevitts (nev' itz) - n. The sandpaper-like deposits on a cat's tongue."

"Shocklet (shahk' lit) - n. The seldom-used third hole on an electrical outlet."

"Yotate (yoh' tayt) - v. To allow a yo-yo to unwind itself."

snigletize

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".

shiblet

A niblet of shit.
A small kernel or morsel of turd commonly found in the underpants after an unexpected shart.

Less commonly occuring after taking a shit and failing to completely pinch off the last stubborn nugget. Even cursory wiping typically removes this variety, but in rare cases this pinch-pirate will subsequently (and apparently randomly) release itself to be discovered in the briefs at a later time as a shiblet.

When entangled in ass-hair, may also be referred to as a klingon or dingleberry - though a free, unobstructed turd kernel discoverred in the tighty-whiteys is always referred to as a shiblet.
"Wot's this? A shiblet in my gonch? That ripper didn't feel wet... huh, I guess I must've sharted."

Bob: "Dude, I just found a ball of hash on the floor, let's party!"
Jon: "That's a shiblet man, don't smoke it! I found that rolling around in my gooch last Friday and flicked it at the ceiling... it must've fallen down."
