A young male, roughly ages 18-35, usually in good shape and probably on steroids or HGH, with an extreme false sense of confidence. Material items are number one next to body image, hanging out with friends (other shnugens), and women. He will more than likely have a croch rocket and live above his means. A shnugen is readily available to other shnugens 24/7, even if it means abandoning his wife and children. He will not jeopardize his reputation. He does not understand the true meaning of life.
