High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sniglet is a neologism, popularized by comedian/actor Rich Hall during his tenure on the 1980s HBO comedy series Not Necessarily the News. Each episode of the monthly series featured a regular segment on sniglets, which Hall described as "any word that doesn`t appear in the dictionary, but should". Hall`s own sniglets, along with submissions by fans, were compiled into several books, starting with Sniglets and More Sniglets.
