snidley

1) The small black floating bits of carbon or other burnt substance that occur when you first light a candle or an oil lamp.

2) The same black "floaties" when you light and prepare an oxy-acetylene torch and the mixture isn't quite right.
1) Look at the snidleys floating to the ceiling of the living room.

2) This flame will never cut that steel, look at the snidleys coming off it.

snidley

Someone who is fawning, obsequious, creepy, - a brown noser who will dob you in behind your back
He is a bit snidley at heart
